Hi
I admire you for positive outlook.

But Mental retardation and Brain damaged in early neonatal period can not be reverse.

It is permanent damage and you have to accept this fact.
TO be very frank it will never improve as damages is permanent.
You just teach her and educate her according to need.
Get proper counseling from psychiatrist about.
