Intellectual Disability treatment in Puebla

The term mental retardation, now more commonly known as intellectual disability, describes significant limitations in intellectual functioning and in the skills for daily life that manifest during development, in childhood.

How it presents: It may be noticed in delays in reaching developmental milestones, difficulties with learning, communication, or social adaptation, with widely varying degrees from one person to another.

When to seek guidance? When delays are observed in language, learning, or the autonomy expected for the child's age.

Which specialist provides guidance? The pediatrician is the first point of contact to evaluate the child's development and coordinate the studies and supports that apply. Raising these questions during an early visit favors appropriate support for the family.
