Patient's question:
The child is already grown, but their IQ is not good. They went to the hospital for a thorough examination and were told that they had intellectual disability. What should be done if one has intellectual disability?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the intellectual disability of the 12-year-old child may be a congenital developmental disorder of intelligence. There is no effective treatment for this condition, so it is important to maintain a positive attitude. Since the child has already passed the stage of intellectual and developmental growth, we can only rely on active artificial guidance to stabilize the symptoms to some extent.It is necessary to understand the doctor's on-site examination, evaluation (such as language development tests, intelligence tests, hearing tests, dental examinations, MRI of the head, EEG, etc.), and inquiries to confirm the child's diagnosis and possible causes before considering relevant rehabilitation interventions.
There are many treatment methods for intellectual disability, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach will also differ. Therefore, patients need timely examination and diagnosis to receive targeted treatment.
