Patient's question:
My child is now attending school, but their academic performance is particularly poor, and their behavior at school is not particularly good either. When the teacher asks some questions in class, my child cannot respond as fluently as other children. After a check-up at the hospital, the doctor said that my child has some intellectual disabilities.Doctor's answer:
The Causes of Learning Disabilities:1) Genetic Factors: If there is a history of learning disabilities in the family, the incidence rate is higher than in the general population. Typically, individuals with learning disabilities have abnormalities in chromosome 15 and chromosome 6.
2) Neuropsychological Factors: Children with learning disabilities exhibit abnormalities in their brain's neurotransmitters and cortical function. In simpler terms, this can be understood as the brain of a person with a learning disability being like a malfunctioning computer, such as a disconnection between the processor and the input device, which then leads to a series of malfunctions. To overcome this, early educational intervention is necessary for the child. It is recommended that parents consult with professionals specializing in such interventions.
