- Abstract
The purpose of this paper was to develop a valid and reliable scale to assess the emotional maturity of mild intellectually disabled children. Such a scale will be helpful in identifying the support required to enhance the emotional maturity of the mild intellectually disabled children for the successful functioning at home, school, and in other social situations. The study was conducted on 80 mild intellectually disabled children with an IQ of 50-70 and aged between 9-14 years. An attempt has been made in this study to identify, develop and validate a total of 54 (84 inclusive of sub items) items for measuring the emotional maturity in mild intellectually disabled children. The initial development, establishment of validity and estimation of reliability of the emotional maturity are discussed. The findings indicate that the scale has high acceptable reliability.
