there are some different ways for people with intellectual disability and those around them to learn how to help the person with the disability. one kind is psychosocial treatment. this is meant for very young children. psychosocial treatment helps them learn basic skills and increase learning over their lifetime. another kind is behavioral treatment. this is meant to help young people, but can be used for adults as well. behavior treatment helps teach language skills as well as social skills like sharing or following instructions. a third kind of help is cognitive-behavioral treatment. this is a combination of the previous two treatments. cognitive-behavioral therapy helps children with intellectual disability both learn skills and learn how to plan ahead. another type of help a person with intellectual disability can get is family-oriented help. family-oriented help focuses on teaching family members how to help the person in their family with intellectual disability.
