Question
What are the methods for treating intellectual disability?
Answer
Intellectual disability refers to a slow development or inability to fully expand brain functions, leading to limitations in practice and social adaptation, and difficulty compared to the average person. The condition of expansion delay can be detected as early as infancy or childhood, unlike the sudden onset of general diseases or mental illnesses. Intellectual disability is a permanent defect, neither a disease nor a mental illness, and cannot be cured by medication. However, individuals with intellectual disabilities can develop their limited potential through training, improve their reading ability, and enhance their ability to live a normal life. To achieve the highest possible intellectual level, measures such as medical care, social support, education, and vocational training can be adopted, with special training provided based on age and the severity of intellectual disability.
