What about children with low intelligence and poor understanding? As we all know, every child's understanding ability is different. If children's mental retardation is a serious problem in life, what should we do if we share children's mental retardation and poor understanding?

How to deal with children with mental retardation and poor understanding 1 1. Examination: When children have poor comprehension and slow response, they can take intelligence test first, and can use different test scales. Through the test, you can comprehensively judge the child's motor development, memory, motor ability and so on. At the same time, toxic encephalopathy, muscular dystrophy and congenital cerebral palsy should be excluded, which will also affect children's intelligence. If necessary, you can go to the hospital for a definite diagnosis such as magnetic vibration or EEG.

2. Communicate more: When children have poor understanding and slow response, parents should communicate more with their children and play games or sports with them. In the process of communication, children's understanding ability includes hands-on ability and reaction ability, which will be improved to varying degrees with the deepening of activities;

What about children with mental retardation? What are the manifestations of my child's mental retardation?

1, mild mental retardation: mental retardation is 75%-80%, IQ is 50-70, and adaptive behavior is mild defect. Clinical manifestations: slow development, late language development, little difficulty in living language, insensitive response, lack of autonomy when encountering problems, inability to cope with external changes, and susceptibility to others. In understanding comprehensive analysis, there is a lack of logical connection, abstract things are difficult to master, academic performance is backward, and calculation is simple, but it is difficult to understand application problems and memorize them, but they cannot be applied correctly.

2. Moderate mental retardation: about 12% mental retardation, IQ35~49, and adaptive behavior is moderate. Clinical manifestations: children with normal development have slow control of walking, speaking and defecation, poor language ability, small vocabulary, poor expression ability and simple thinking, but they can't understand abstract concepts, poor recognition ability, poor reading and calculation ability, and can only add and subtract or imitate writing within 10, but they can't understand its meaning.

3. Severe mental retardation: mental retardation is 7%~8%, IQ is 20 ~ 34, and there are serious defects in adaptive behavior: clinical manifestations: early developmental retardation, slow response to surrounding things, vague pronunciation, poor expression ability, lack of abstract and understanding ability, childish mood, clumsy movements, frequent repetitive movements without purpose, often accompanied by serious sensory and motor disorders, which are impossible to calculate at all.

4. Extremely severe mental retardation: accounting for 65,438+0% ~ 2% of mental retardation, with IQ20c gh and poor adaptive behavior. The clinical manifestations are: poor development, lack of language ability, inability to recognize relatives and environment, disorientation, poor sensory perception, obvious movement disorder, inflexible hands and feet, inability to walk, only crying for food or expressing discomfort.
