Hi, My cousin has low IQ rate(between 60 to 65). He is very slow in his basic improvements like stand, walk and talk. He is not able to identify the colors and also unable lock his shirt button himself. Please note that, he is at the age of 10. We had lot of treatments but no improvements in his activity. As Doctors suggested, he is going to the school where low children are getting trained. Our objective is to make him to live normal (in personal and social behavior) in this world. Please advice.
Dear, Welcome to ChatDoctorWe understand your concerns went through your details. Once the children IQ score falls down below 70, it is intellectual disability. Early identification of child Chat Doctor.  The mainstay of treatment of MR/ID (mentally retarded / Intellectually retarded) is developing a comprehensive management plan for the condition. The complex rehabilitation plan for the individual requires input from care providers from multiple disciplines, including special educators, language therapists, behavioral therapists, occupational therapists, and community services that provide social support and respite care for families affected by MR/ID. The procedure is tiresome and the best place you can do it is in the special school your child already in. Written, verbal and pectoral forms of communication as well as gestures and demonstrations are helpful. Annual counseling and referral on these issues to community agencies and programs is recommended. If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR.
