Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. The treatment to children with mental retardation should be inclusive. Your child should be made to interact with other normal children of the age group. Mostly doctors suggest to send them to special schools, but I do not agree with that. MR children should be send to normal school with other children for some intellectual development. Child learns from what he sees. Let him see normal children and learn from them. Medicines such as epilex are also necessary. Only your child specialist can prescribe better ones because he knows your child better than us. Please consult him.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
