Abstract
The role of parenting styles and its relationship with special
instructions by the expert to the parents to improve the behavior of
intellectually disabled children was studied among 35 children with
intellectual disability those were supervised in a private institution
by a supervisor. The willing parents of these children completed
Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ), received the instructions for
support and help of these children to improve their behaviors at home
and later submitted their reports about the behavior improvement of the
children on weekly basis for four weeks. It was assumed that parenting
styles may play a role in the behavior improvements of special children?
The parental responses evaluated with SPSS after four weeks. A
relationship was observed; a gender difference relationship also
emerged. Cross cultural implementation would clarify further.
