Children with intellectual developmental delays may exhibit the following characteristics:
1. Abnormal facial expressions: Some children's facial features develop differently compared to typical individuals, such as having widely spaced eyes or strabismus (crossed eyes), and they may display varied or unusual facial expressions.
2. Delayed motor development: Physical development is delayed, and the child may show poor coordination of limbs during daily activities, with delayed development in fine motor skills compared to typically developing peers.
3. Unclear speech and language expression: The child may experience delayed language development, have difficulty expressing thoughts clearly, struggle to convey their own ideas, and have trouble understanding the intentions behind others' speech.
4. Poor concentration: The child often has difficulty focusing on a single task, gets easily distracted, tends to have scattered thoughts while performing tasks, and cannot concentrate on one thing for an extended period.
