Abstract
An intellectual disability is defined as an IQ below 70 and deficits in adaptive behavior or daily living skills (eating, dressing, communication, participate in a group activity). Children with intellectual disabilities learn slowly and have difficulty with abstract concepts. Children with intellectual disabilities have a wide range of needs and most exhibit behavioral problems. Around 7-15% of children with ID have severely challenging behavioral problems. The nature and severity of these behavioral problems vary with the degree of Intellectual Disability. Modification of behavioral problems in children is a great concern for parents in India. In the present study, it will be attempted to analyze the efficacy of Psycho Neurobics, innovative techniques designed by my Guru and guide Dr. Chandrashekhar Tiwari, founder president of SIGFA Institute of Research and Development, Faridabad, Haryana, India, for behavioral modification provided to 12 students with ID in Delhi, India. The results of this study on behavior modification of intellectually disabled students with the help of their parents are very much overwhelming and encouraging.
