Question
A seven-year-old girl is performing poorly in school, with teachers noting her lack of focus, poor self-control, and low understanding abilities. She has a limited vocabulary, struggles with coherence, and cannot clearly or precisely express her thoughts, often leading to ambiguous meanings. How can intellectual disability in children be treated? What are some effective methods?
Answer
Parents should take their child to a regular pediatric hospital for a diagnosis, which involves assessments and the use of child self-assessment questionnaires. Once diagnosed, medication treatment can be initiated, which may include central stimulants, selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, and antidepressants.
