Question
My child is 7 years old and his growth and development are much slower than children of the same age, and he is not very proficient in walking and speaking. The doctor said he has severe intellectual disability. How should we treat it?
Answer
For individuals with mild intellectual disability, early education is crucial for their development. During their teenage years, they can receive vocational education and training. As adults, they can engage in simple labor and participate in community life. When changes occur in their living environment, they need support and assistance from others. They also have mild social adaptation challenges. Only with the care and guidance of their family can they gradually get back on track.
