The Effectiveness of Sensory Integration Strategy to Overcome Behaviour Problems among Students with Mild Intellectual Disability

Abstract

Education is the most powerful instrument to tackle any problem that confronts mankind and achieve any goal that it sets before it. Every child is a unique personality and he/she has to be given the opportunity to develop his/her abilities, competencies and skills. This is applicable to both children with or without disabilities. The United Nations Convention for Rights of Persons with Disabilities recognizes that persons with disabilities also have a right to education and lifelong learning. Providing primary education to intellectually disabled children is much significant. The children have to improve their skills of understanding themselves, establishing positive social relations, adjusting to the social, technological and physical environment, and surviving independently.
