Generally speaking, babies look up at two months old, flip over at three months old, sit down at six months old, and crawl at eight months old. Some babies may skip over and flip over and sit down, which is normal. However, if every item is delayed, then one should be wary of developmental delay. Intellectual developmental delay refers to a significant decline in a child's intellectual development compared to normal children. Children with intellectual developmental delay have lower learning and reaction abilities than ordinary children, causing difficulties for their future normal life and learning. Next, the encyclopedia will introduce the treatment methods for intellectual disability.
Can intellectual disability be cured
Delayed intellectual development is difficult to completely cure. In the early stages after birth, various systems are still in the process of growth and development. The younger the age at which abnormal conditions occur, the better the effect of early intervention and rehabilitation treatment. Firstly, by comprehensively analyzing the medical history, physical condition, and auxiliary examinations, the causes of developmental delay in children are determined to determine the treatment principles.
Treatment for intellectual disability
1. Nutritional deficiencies should be addressed through proper nutrition, a comprehensive and balanced diet, the cultivation of good eating habits, and the promotion of appetite.
2. Systemic diseases should be actively treated for primary diseases.
3. Familial dwarfism, idiopathic dwarfism, and constitutional growth and development delay can be regulated through various methods to fully unleash their growth potential, and growth hormone can be used as appropriate.
4. Congenital genetic and metabolic diseases such as hypothyroidism, pituitary dwarfism, congenital ovarian dysplasia, and small for gestational age infants require corresponding special treatment and symptomatic treatment.
5. The basic method for children to learn language is imitation. Therefore, adults should talk to children more, train them to imitate adult language pronunciation, encourage them to dare to speak, and learn to express their requirements in language.
6. Provide more stimulation to encourage children to speak, for example, starting with asking the child to call 'mom', if the child doesn't call 'mom', the mother should smile and nod, if they don't call 'mom' anymore, they should still smile and nod to indicate. Finally, if the child suddenly calls' mom ', they should warmly hug or kiss the child. In this way, children will experience the love they receive by calling out 'mom', which will stimulate their interest and enthusiasm for speaking.
7. Allowing children to have more exposure to society and nature can enrich their lives, broaden their horizons, broaden their knowledge, and naturally require them to speak. If combined with language training, children's language abilities will correspondingly develop well.
