What Are the Treatment Methods for Intellectual Disability?

Intellectual disability refers to a slower development of brain function or an inability to fully expand as normally, which limits or causes difficulties in practice and social adaptation, falling short of the average person. The delayed expansion can be detected as early as in infancy or childhood, unlike the sudden onset of general diseases or mental illnesses. Intellectual disability is a permanent defect, neither a disease nor a mental illness, and cannot be cured by medication. However, individuals with intellectual disability can expand their limited potential through training, enhancing their reading skills and ability to live a normal life. By coordinating medical, social, educational, and vocational training measures, training is implemented for patients based on their age and the severity of their MR, aiming to achieve the highest possible intellectual level.
