Due to this condition the child have a weak
growth physically & mentally. It is not a disease but it is a condition. In
which mind will not be develop due to this children start to understand very
slowly. The IQ ( Intelligence Quotients ) level and adaptive skills both are
include the ability to speak & understand, living skills, write, read, self
care, social direction.
In short, we say that these types of children
unable to day by day activity like other children, so they require special care
from their family member, teacher (special educator) and society so that, they develop them self &
try to live like a normal child.
