Abstract:
Affecting some 2.5-3.5% of the general population (Smith, 1971), mental retardation is an important national health, social and economic problem, with only four disabling conditions (cancer, arthritis, cardiac disease and mental illness) having higher incidence (Love, 1973). Of these conditions only mental retardation is prevalent in the early developmental period of life.
