Differences in Development of Adaptive Behavioral Skills among Mentally Challenged Children With Their Birth Order
Journal Title: International Journal of Environment, Ecology, Family and Urban Studies (IJEEFUS) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
The present study assessed and compared the adaptive skills of 150 mentally challenged children from 3 RCI (Rehabilitation Council of India) recognised special schools of Delhi across their birth order. Sample was drawn randomly in equal proportions from mild, moderate and severe mental challenge, belonged to low and middle income families. The adaptive skills were assessed using Behavioural Assessment Scales for Indian Children with Mental Retardation Part A developed by NIMH. Findings revealed that third or above born children had more adaptivity when compared to first born. The predominant reason was more support and guidance of their elder siblings. Therefore, from the study it can be concluded that for sure birth order had great impact over the adaptive behaviour skills of mentally challenged children.
