Question
Can individuals with intellectual disability be completely recovered?
Answer
Intellectual disability, also known as mental retardation, is categorized by IQ into different levels. Whether or not an individual can recover or how much their intellectual level decreases depends on the severity of the condition. For those with mild mental retardation, recovery is usually possible through rehabilitation training and treatment, allowing the child’s intellectual growth and development to reach as close as possible to the average level of their peers. For children with moderate to severe mental retardation, recovery beyond this point is very difficult. Intellectual disability can cause significant harm to children, so it is recommended that parents bring their children to a specialized clinic for re-examination and treatment under a doctor’s guidance. In daily life, giving children some juice can aid digestion and vitamin supplementation, helping to prevent stomach troubles and hoping for a quick recovery!
