MANAGEMENT

Mental retardation is not an illness but a disorder with limited mental capacity. The main emphasis lies in assessing the degree of mental deficiency and planning of activities to optimize/improve the capacities present.

While there is no cure to make these persons completely normal, mental capacity of these persons can be improved with special education by professionals / parents and regular therapy of Learnol Plus.

Special education by professionals and affectionate interaction by parents and family play a crucial role in improving and optimizing quality of life for mentally deficient children and adults.

Children and adults with mild to moderate mental deficiency (IQ of approximately 40 to 70) usually show improvement with therapy of Learnol Plus and special training.
