Assessment and Treatment of Intellectual Disability in a 2.5-Year-Old

Question

At 2.5 years old, the child doesn’t call Dad or Mom much, and even after teaching many times, they still can’t call them properly. What’s going on here?

Answer

Is the intellectual disability diagnosed by an expert or is it a self-assessment? If it’s diagnosed by an expert, treatment can be sought at the relevant hospital. If it’s a self-assessment, one should not make hasty decisions, as each child’s rate of intellectual development is different. We know that intellectual disability in young children can cause great harm to the child. If it is not treated promptly or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression can be very fast, posing great harm to the child. Therefore, it is crucial to seek regular treatment at a professional hospital.
