Abstract :

The role of psychological interventions in promoting personal and academic domains in a sample of 12 Autistic Mentally Retarded children were examined in the age group of 6–9 and 9 –12 years living in urban and rural areas of Chittoor and Tirupati of Andhra Pradesh. Personal and academic domains were measured through the Functional Assessment Check List for Programming (FACP). A module of psychoeducational interventions were planned to improve the personal and academic domains among Autistic Mentally Retarded children. Policy implications in promoting functional skills have been discussed.
