Basic principles of rehabilitation training for intellectually disabled children

Let us now understand the basic principles of rehabilitation training for children with intellectual disabilities.

The principle of fun is to fully understand the psychological characteristics of children with intellectual disabilities, mobilize their interests, combine education with entertainment, and create a harmonious and pleasant training environment to facilitate children's active participation and all-round development.

The developmental principle follows the laws of children's physical and mental development, views each intellectually disabled child from the perspective of development and change, takes appropriate measures, and actively adapts to changes.

The principle of life-oriented training in daily life can often produce the best results. Integrating rehabilitation training into daily life activities can fully mobilize the various sensory functions of intellectually disabled children and improve their self-care ability and social adaptability.

The principle of individualization: There are obvious individual differences among children with intellectual disabilities. Different training contents must be arranged according to the children's physical and mental characteristics, and different training methods and means must be adopted. Parents should strengthen communication with professional rehabilitation personnel to jointly develop the best plan suitable for the personality development of children with intellectual disabilities.

The principle of inclusion means that while providing individualized rehabilitation services for children with intellectual disabilities, we must also provide them with an inclusive environment so that they can adapt to the normal social living environment as early as possible and lay the foundation for their future integration into society.

The principle of repetition. The rehabilitation training of intellectually disabled children is a long and gradual process. Only by adhering to the principles of gradual progress, repeated practice and comprehensive training can tangible results be achieved.

The principle of developing potential should pay attention to discovering the potential abilities of intellectually disabled children, making full use of their potential to strengthen training and help them improve their strengths and overcome their weaknesses.
