Abstract
This article, based on a comparative study, deals with the question of mental health of the parents of mentally retarded children. In this study the mental health of the parents of the educable mentally retarded children were compared to that of the non- retarded children. The subjects sampled randomly consisted of 280 parents (mother and fathers equally), of whom 140 had educable mentally retarded children and 140 had non- retarded children in the primary schools of Abadan. The information needed, was obtained using a 90- question- scale questionnaire (SCL 90- R), the validity and reliability of which were compatible with that of the original scale. The research design a causal- comparative one. The results show a significant difference between the mental healths of the two groups of parents. Moreover; according to this research, the negative effects of having a mentally retarded child is more obvious in mothers than fathers.

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to study the effect of instruction on obtaining conservation in educable mentally retarded children. This theme is related to the theory of Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), which was put forward by the famous Russian psychologist, Vygotsky.While providing a discussion on this theory; this study deals with the hypothesis about the effects of instruction on obtaining liquid and weight conservation in educable mentally retarded students. The subjects consisted of 30 educable mentally retarded students. These subjects were put randomly in one of the experimental or control groups. All subjects took part in a pretest. After 10 days, during which the experimental group had undergone intervention programs, a posttest was administered to the subjects of both groups. In line with the previous studies, the results of the present study showed that instruction has a positive effect on obtaining liquid and weight conservation in educable mentally retarded children.

Abstract
Objective: Children with intellectual disabilities (ID) have learning and educational difficulties because of variant linguistic disorders such as phonological, morphological, lexical and syntactical. This research concentrates on the study and description of some syntactic characteristics in students with ID. These syntactic features include third person plural verbs, object marker (-ra), simple past tense verbs, personal pronoun, plural marker (ha-), prepositions, negative verbs, simple present tense, linking verbs, and subordination structures. Method: seventy nine children were randomly selected from 700 students having ID in Tehran exceptional schools at 1382-3 years. The sample was made by multi-stage sampling. The apparatus used in this research was Test of Language Development –3 (TOLD-3) (The Persian version). Results: Data analysis revealed which syntactic features are difficult and which ones are simple for production and perception for this group of students. Conclusion: These results could be used in developing and improving the educational and rehabilitation programs and curriculums for children with ID.

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this research was to study outbreak of Spinal column abnormalities & its relationship with rest habit with respect to anthropometric & ergonometric properties of educable Mentally Retarded children of Kurdistan province. Method: Statistical population of the present research were all 440 mentally retarded children aged between 11-17 years in Kurdistan Province. According to Moregan table, 205 children were selected by random-cluster method as research sample. The information was collected through questionnaires and clinical examination. In order to analyze the information some descriptive and inferential statistics including Chi- square and SPSS software was used. Results: Research findings show the following outbreaks: lordosis 65%, kyphosis 13%, scolosis 4% and flat back 6% among samples. There was no significant difference between abnormality of spinal column with height, weight, BMI, type of mattress and pillow and also and kyphosis with sleeping on belly, scolosis and sleeping to sides, flat back and sleeping on back. However, there was significant relationship between lordosis and sleeping on belly.Conclusion: Mentally Retarded children have a remarkable abnormality in spinal column and this necessitates different interventions.

Abstract
Objective: This article is a review of research regarding ketogenic diet in treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy in mentally retarded children. Method: A literature search was conducted using Magiran, PubMed and reference books nutrition. Results: There are valid scientific documents that show this diet reduces seizures in these children. The most common usage of this diet is for children with epilepsy which despite the use of anti-epileptic drugs, their seizures are continued. Conclusion: Ketogenic diet has an important role in the treatment and control of seizures in refractory to treatment epilepsy and this approach should be considered by pediatric neurologists as a alternative treatment in mentally children who affected by drug-resistant epilepsy.

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of the present research was to compare the impact of a perceptual-motor training course on adaptive behavior and self-efficacy of educable Intellectual Disabled children in competitive and non-competitive environments. Method: The present research has a pre- and posttest quasi-experimental design. The statistical population consisted of 36 educable mentally retarded students aged 9-12 years, from an exceptional children’s school in Borujen. Twenty eight students (13 girls and 15 boys) were selected through available and purposive sampling from the desired population and were assigned into two groups of training in a competitive environment and training in a non-competitive environment based on replication method. Both groups practiced a perceptual -motor training for a period of eight weeks. The group of training in a competitive environment practiced in a competitive environment and the group of training in a non-competitive environment practiced in a non-competitive environment. In order to collect data, Wheeler-Ladd’s self-efficacy questionnaire and Vinland’s adaptive behavior questionnaire were used that were completed as pre-test and post-test by parents. The data were analyzed by using co-variance test. Results: The findings showed that perceptual training regardless of training environment had significant impact on improvement of adaptive behavior and increasing of self-efficacy. Also, training in competitive environment in comparison with non-competitive environment caused more improvement in adaptive behavior of educable mental retarded children; however, with regard to self-efficacy, no difference was observed between two groups. Conclusion: Motivational environment can have different impacts on adaptive behavior of educable mentally retarded children.
