dc.description.abstractMothers of 80 children of mild (IQ 50-70) and moderate (IQ 35-49) mental retardation were selected for the present study. A carefully developed home training programme was utilized to train half of the mothers, the other half forming the control group for the study. The experimental and the control groups were matched for age and IQ of the children, and age of the mothers. The women also did not differ significantly on base-line marital adjustment and parental attitude scores and the experienced social burden of the mothers. In the experimental group there was a significant increase in the IQ and improvement in the behaviour of the children and significant improvement in the marital adjustment score, parental attitude and social burden felt by the mothers. There was no significant change in the control group in any of these variables.en_US
