Intellectual Disability

Intellectual Disabilities usually represent a delay in intellectual milestones – beginning early on usually during childhood, post infancy, and definitely before 18 years of age. These types of conditions are more common in males rather than females.
At Buddhi Clinic, we are able to bring together a unique skill set in managing various forms and levels of Intellectual Disabilities.

Signs & Symptoms

There are many different signs of intellectual disabilities in children. Signs may appear during infancy, or they may not be noticeable until a child reaches school age. It often depends on the severity of the disability. Some of the most common signs of intellectual disabilities are:
  • Rolling over, sitting up, crawling, or walking late
  • Talking late or having trouble with talking
  • Slow to master things like potty training, dressing, and feeding themselves
  • Difficulty remembering things
  • Inability to connect actions with consequences
  • Behavior problems such as explosive tantrums
  • Difficulty with problem-solving or logical thinking
It is noteworthy that patients with mild forms of Intellectual Disability have multifarious causes for their condition while those with severe intellectual disabilities have predominantly genetic causes. Patients with this disability also have additional problems, seizures and behavioral dysfunction (in about 50% of cases).

Diagnosis

While the diagnosis is clinical, we also need to use brain imaging, electrophysiology & blood tests to rule out reversible causes or contributing factors as well as a thorough pre-rehabilitation assessment including evaluation for co-morbidities (associated conditions). At Buddhi Clinic our assessment includes standard outcome indicators for activities of daily life, quality of life, neuro-disability and mental health.

Treatment

At Buddhi Clinic we analyze intellect, seizures and behaviour in tandem. Our Buddhi Clinic program addresses a gamut of problems – seizures, mood swings, acting out behaviors, delayed self-help skills, problems with emotional expression & socialization, etc. Apart from medication that enhances attention and memory, and improves overall behavioural issues, we have available a range of memory enhancement procedures including –
