Abstract :

The Present study to examine the importance of parent�s in emotional and cognitive development of children with intellectual disability. 107 Intellectual Disability children (52 boys and 55 girls), who were referred by doctors for I.Q assessment, and behaviour problem, age range from 8 to 16 years were recruited based on random sampling. They were administered the Behavioural assessment scales for Indian children with Mental retardation (BASIC–MR)– Reeta Peshawaria & S. Venkatesan in the sample group. An Analysis of variance showed that the F ratio is larger than the F crit value 3.024132 .The F crit (3.024132) is the critical value as extracted from the f–distribution in statistical tables based on two values of degrees of freedom df of 2 and 1318. p < 0.05 we can reject null hypothesis (Means are different) . Different means say that there is positive effect of parents role on intellectual disable children emotions and cognitive. Present study showed that emotions influence the development of the cognitive system. During early stage emotional reactivity are likely to have an indirect effect on early cognitive development by influencing the type and amount stimulation that parents (caretaker) provide to the children, and both biological and an early environment perspective there is reasons to believe that the children with intellectual disability are not only cognitively but emotionally different and that emotional processes may have positively effects on the development of their cognitive system. Parents with positive role developed skill behaviour –Motor, language, daily routine activity, reading –writing, social interaction, vocational, and decrease the level of abnormal behaviour – violent and Destructive, temper tantrums , misbehaviour, self–injurious, repetitive behaviour, ODD, hyper–activeness, rebellious.
