BACKGROUND: Concentration is a very important skill for a child because it provides an ability to focus and help to control momentary impulses. Concentration difficulty is a common problem among millions of children. Yoga therapy helps to increase the concentration through various postures and meditations.

SELECTION Criteria: Children with IQ between 80 – 89 (Abled) and 50 – 70 (Disabled), age group of 10 – 15 years and both gender were included. METHODS: 15 mentally abled children, 15 mentally disabled children selected by simple random (Lottery) sampling technique. Level of concentration was measured by Modified James. M. Swanson Assessment Rating Scale before and after yoga. RESULTS: The result shows that the most of the mentally abled and disabled children were males, having no family history of mental retardation. The overall mean ratio in pre test is 61.4: 53.8 and in post test 77.4: 65.2 and the difference between the pre test and post test mean ratio score is 16: 11. However the effectiveness ratio in pre test is 1.14: 1 and in post test 1.2: 1 and the difference between the pre test and post test effectiveness ratio score is 1.5: 1. It seems that the level of concentration among mentally abled Vs disabled children were same with mild difference of 0.5%. The paired “t” test value was 7.27 in mentally abled children and in mentally disabled children value was 5.71 (P < 0.05).
