For children with mental retardation, face-to-face teaching, chewing muscle exercise, more communication and listening to audio are usually recommended for language training.
1. Face-to-face teaching: For children with mental retardation, it is recommended that they be taught to open and close their mouths and move their tongues forward and backward, left and right, up and down, face-to-face.
2. Chewing muscle exercise: The language training of children with mental retardation cannot be separated from the exercise of chewing muscle, and children can be allowed to practice whistling, puffing up their cheeks and other exercises.
3. Communicate more: Parents should communicate with children with mental retardation and talk to them about topics that interest them.
4. Listening to audio: In order to strengthen the sense of language and understanding of children with mental retardation, it is also recommended to train children’s language by letting them listen to audio such as music and stories.
If a child is diagnosed with mental retardation, early treatment is recommended to minimize the adverse effects of the disease.
