Question

A boy with mild intellectual disability, who can only think in a linear manner, what is the general life expectancy for people with intellectual disabilities?

Answer

In Taiwan, people with intellectual disabilities can apply for a disability certificate and receive relevant policy support. However, there is currently no specialized legislation or regulations in place for special assistance to people with intellectual disabilities. Locally, each region will formulate different policies based on the actual situation to support and assist people with intellectual disabilities. For specific information, please consult the local social welfare department. In addition, timely treatment at a professional medical institution is crucial for slowing the progression of the condition.
