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.

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.
