Patient's question:
When a child is two or three years old, they can have a bad temper. Sometimes, when they get angry, they even bang their heads against the wall. Now they are normal. They can concentrate and are interested in learning. But their memory is too poor. Even if they are taught many times, they still can't remember it later. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
After a child is diagnosed with intellectual disability, purely medicinal treatment often yields poor results. In fact, in such cases, simple rehabilitation exercises are essential. Only through sufficient exercise can the efficacy of medication be maximized. Typically, rehabilitation exercises for intellectual disability target the following abilities:Motor skills: Training children in crawling, rolling over, sitting, standing, walking, running, jumping, and other gross motor skills. It also involves training for the flexibility and accuracy of their limbs. From teaching them to grasp large, nearby objects and manipulate items to tasks like unbuttoning buttons, threading needles, and sewing—fine motor skills—to finally disassembling and assembling objects, which are complex movements.
