- NEW!

Yes. I had severe mental retardation with moderate to severe hearing loss, quid-CP in my wrist and ankles, and severe brain damage which cased all of that and loss of movement. I was in college at age 15 (3.97 GPA), associates in nursing by 17 and now am planning to be an entertainment lawyer.
So a child or adult can recover from that. Do brain exercises. Make them learn math without a calculator (I didn't have a proper one until college but even then I did everything in my head), Push them to learn even though at first it will be frustration... they might get violent (me) or teary but it's sooo much more better than being called retarded and stupid the rest of your life. Read news papers on law suits or give a basic health problem and make them figure it out with common sense. When in the car... play a song then ask what that song was about (my mother would hit us if we were wrong... nothing wrong with that... I'm glad she did... made me think a whole lot faster lol). Learn another language (this will stretch the brain, I know 3). It may sound cruel but you have to force them to do it (everything you'll be doing) since they will naturally want to block it out.
Eat organic foods and avoid chemicals (fast food, pop, processed foods) and you can heal mental retardation. Don't trust doctors and don't use pills. Do your own extensive research. Hope this helped and that the child will never want to be labeled retarded again and push themselves to and past their limit.

Why do humans mistake consequence for punishment? God need not punish you when consequence is all the punishment you can handle.
