Question
My daughter is almost four years old, and her movements are not as agile as other children, and her reactions are slower, especially during outdoor activities, where her responses seem somewhat slow. I’ve heard that this is a sign of mild intellectual disability, which makes me very worried. How should I help her?
Answer
For children with mild intellectual disability, educators need great patience, starting with simple content and gradually increasing complexity to cultivate their reading and living skills. For older children, they should be trained in basic work skills to eventually become self-sufficient. At the same time, parents should be aware that scolding is harmful and beneficial. For moderate cases, rehabilitation training can be implemented to foster self-care abilities and basic communication skills.
