Patient's question:
When a child is two or three years old, they can have a bad temper and even bang their head against the wall when angry. Now they are normal, with good concentration and interest in learning, but their memory is too poor. Even after being taught many times repeatedly, they still can't remember it later. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
After a child is diagnosed with intellectual disability, simple medication treatment often yields poor results. In fact, in such cases, simple rehabilitation exercises are essential. Only through sufficient exercise can the effectiveness of medication be maximized. Typically, rehabilitation exercises for intellectual disability target the following abilities:Motor skills: Training children to perform large motor skills such as crawling, rolling over, sitting, standing, walking, running, and jumping, as well as improving their limb flexibility and accuracy. The training progresses from teaching children to grasp large, nearby objects and manipulate items, to performing fine motor skills like unbuttoning buttons, threading needles, and sewing, and finally to complex actions such as disassembling and assembling objects.
