Question
Is slow development intellectual disability?
Answer
Delayed development refers to a phenomenon that occurs during the growth and development process, with an incidence rate between 6% and 8%. In a normal environment, any factor that is unfavorable to a child’s growth and development can affect the child’s development, leading to delayed growth and development. However, it cannot be directly concluded that delayed development is intellectual disability. It is recommended to supplement your child’s nutrition, pay attention to exercising your child, and develop their intelligence. If you feel something is not right, it is still advisable to go to the hospital for a diagnosis.
