Question
A three-year-old child, besides having poor intellectual development, is otherwise growing normally. The current issues are that the child’s self-care abilities have regressed, and he does not speak. He was born via normal delivery and no other abnormalities were detected at birth. The doctor diagnosed him with intellectual disability and suggested that being able to live independently in the future would be sufficient. Regarding the treatability of intellectual disability and the methods of treatment, what are they?
Answer
For the care of children with intellectual disabilities, it is recommended that parents maintain patience. Basic self-care issues usually do not require excessive concern, and other aspects of care need to be adjusted according to individual circumstances. I hope these suggestions will be helpful to you, and wish you health.
