Intellectual disabilities affect a child’s ability to think, learn, and develop everyday skills like communication, problem-solving, and social interactions. These challenges typically appear early in life and can range from mild to more significant, impacting a child’s ability to navigate school and daily activities. As a parent or teacher, understanding these difficulties is the first step in providing the right support. While intellectual disabilities cannot be cured, early intervention, individualized education, and therapeutic support can make a huge difference. With patience, encouragement, and the right strategies, children with intellectual disabilities can build confidence, develop important life skills, and reach their full potential (Intellectual Disability, 2025).
