Children with intellectual disability typically exhibit slowed perceptual processing or difficulty concentrating. They may also experience poor memory, delayed language development, and impaired thinking abilities. Additionally, emotional instability and low self-confidence are common, and they often struggle to learn social interaction skills. Prompt medical evaluation and consultation at a hospital are essential.
