Question
Where should a 10-year-old child with intellectual disability be treated? The child has been behaving normally and living healthily since the age of 10, but has unclear speech expression, does not understand arithmetic, and is currently attending kindergarten.
Answer
Strictly speaking, intellectual disability is a group of symptoms that may be caused by certain diseases or other harmful factors. In mild cases, there may be brain atrophy, poor brain development, or associated coordination disorders. Treating intellectual disability is very challenging, but there are strategies that can be employed. Early detection and active treatment may lead to good results in some aspects.
