Question
How can I treat intellectual disability? How should I teach a child who doesn’t understand or can’t learn? I suspect he might have an intellectual disability. What are the symptoms of this condition?
Answer
For intellectual disability, it is important to conduct a thorough examination of the child, including intelligence tests, language assessments, checks on developmental growth levels, electroencephalograms, and brain MRIs. This helps to clarify the child’s primary intellectual issues and the actual problems at hand. Also, listen to the doctor’s predictions and suggestions, and consider rehabilitation training and family intervention. As parents, do not be complacent; show more concern for your baby and more communication with them, which can make the baby much more cheerful. At the same time, seek expert opinions to assess any potential issues your baby may have so that treatment can be initiated promptly. Patients with intellectual disability can use dietary therapy as an auxiliary treatment in addition to understanding regular treatment, and should pay attention to balanced diet and avoid irritating food.
