Patient's question:
A friend's child, who is 3 to 4 years old or older, still cannot count or perform simple addition and subtraction. What can be done if they have intellectual disability?Doctor's answer:
For children with intellectual disabilities, the earlier the treatment and training, the better the results. It is generally believed that the best time should not be missed before the age of 6, and it is best to start implementing it before the child is born 6 months in advance. Active family rehabilitation work for children with intellectual disabilities should adhere to the principle of combining nutrition, education, care, and treatment. For severely intellectually disabled patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and start treatment based on the doctor's advice. Do not change the medication randomly, otherwise the effect will be counterproductive. The above opinions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
