Children with ID are affected in intellectual functioning and Adaptive behaviors.

A mentally sound person's average IQ score is 100, but most people score 85 to 115. Children with low IQ levels consider delaying everything, like understanding, making decisions, and solving problems.

Adaptive behaviors: If a child has low Adaptive behaviors, then it hampers day-to-day life, such as poor communication skills, can't interact appropriately with others, and unable to take of oneself.

What are the signs & Symptoms of intellectual disability in children?

Illogical thinking and low problem-solving skills.

Unable to do actions as per consequences.

ID also attracts other health problems, such as motor skills impairment, mood disorders (anxiety, OCD, autism, etc.), and hearing or vision problems.

How do the Professionals diagnose intellectual disability in Children?

If children have physical abnormalities, then doctors refer them for various tests, like blood, urine, brain imaging, and electroencephalogram (EEG), to confirm these are coming from genetic issues.

Doctors ask for those tests to confirm certain neurological disorders and hearing problems to discover the exact causes of children's developmental issues. If no reason is found, they will proceed with the next step, formal testing.

Formal testing has three key factors; a conversation with parents, a test of intelligence and adaptive behaviors, and observing the child. An intellectually disabled child has both problems the IQ and adaptive behaviors. If only one presence between the two is not considered ID.

After diagnosing the ID, the professionals will determine your child's strengths and weaknesses; that way, they will support your child to succeed at home, school, and community.

How Mental Retardation Treatment in Kolkata occurs?

Mental Retardation and autism

Mental retardation, also known as intellectual disability, is a condition in which an individual's intelligence quotient (IQ) is lower than normal. Individuals with an IQ of 80 or higher are considered normal, while those with an IQ of less than 80 are considered disabled. The development, reasoning, adaptability, decision-making ability, and interactive skills of the child are all hampered to varying degrees.

Down's syndrome or Mongolism are examples of genetic factors.

Cerebral palsy or a low APGAR score can be caused by birth injuries.

Encephalitis and meningitis are infections that affect the brain and its coverings.

Prenatal infections in the mother, such as cytomegalovirus and rubella.

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a type of cerebral palsy.

It is a severe neurological disorder that affects the brain's motor functioning, impairing one's ability to control posture, balance, and movement.

Every Visit Makes Me Introspect

I remember Navkshitij ever since my memory can take me back. I remember the long meetings that Dr. Neelima Desai (Neelima aunty to me) and my mother Kanaka used to have in our house in Pune. As a child I used to think, Wow, this idea is amazing.

I have been exposed to social work, but only through seeing Neelima aunty working I learnt that so much effort goes into running an organization this huge. Hats off to her and the entire Navkshitij team for helping this organization grow so beautifully over the years. Even now it amazes me how each caregiver is so patient.

I always wondered how I could help Neelima Aunty. When I was old enough I remember helping aunty deciding the colour combinations for the uniform. It was a small act but I was so thrilled to be doing something for Navkshitij.

I don’t think I have ever seen a social organization address so many issues such as environment preservation, traffic discipline and nationalism.

I’ve been to Navkshitij so many times and I love spending time there. Whenever I go, it’s a reset button for me. Every visit makes me introspect. How can I be a better human being?

I’ve learnt from Navkshitij Friends never to give up on oneself. It’s inspiring how the special friends encourage each other to push their boundaries. They cheer, encourage and show compassion to the others around them. They are so grounded. This is something we lack today. We are all so focused on getting others down that we have forgotten Humanity and Love.

Thank you, Navkshitij, for the wonderful experiences and lessons.

Understand, Assimilate, Forgive: A Friend Shows Us How

ANAND, a special friend with Down’s syndrome, is a quiet boy with a good sense of what is fair and unfair. One day, at my weekly meeting with Friends, he complained about Friend Chaitanya who did not allow him to take solar water first. “I am very angry today because I thought it was unfair,” he told me. We discussed the issue at length. Chaitanya explained that he wanted the water for his friend who was ill and therefore took the water first. He said he had later realised his mistake and had apologised to Anand that morning itself. But Anand was still upset. However, at the meeting, he listened to Chaitanya’s explanation patiently. At the end of the discussion, I asked him whether he was happy with the explanation and he said, yes. The two shook hands immediately.

Both Anand and Chaitanya are Caregiver Assistants and they have the responsibility of helping the caregivers run their home well. Immediately after the weekly meeting with friends, we have our monthly meeting with caregiver assistants, caregiver coordinators and assistant manager. At the start of the meeting, Anand told me that after hearing Chaitanya’s explanation he thought it was okay for him to have taken the water first because he was helping another friend. “Now I am feeling peaceful. I am not angry.” He forgave his friend and it helped him to release his own anger. I felt so good that he could voice his trouble and was able to work on it. Life will be so beautiful for us too if we also practice forgiveness on a regular basis. https://navkshitij.org/understand-assimilate-forgive-a-friend-shows-us-how
