To assess the level of sensory perception and emotional wellbeing among mentally challenged children by doing pre-test and post-test among control group. 3. To compare the level of sensory perceptual ability and emotional wellbeing among both experimental and control group. 4. To associate the level of sensory perception and emotional wellbeing with Demographic variables among experimental and control group. HYPOTHESES: There will be significant difference between the post-test score of sensory perception in experimental and control group among mentally challenged children. There will be significant difference between the post-test score of emotional well-being in experimental and control group among mentally challenged children. There will be a significant association between the level of sensory perception and their selected demographic variables in experimental group and control group among mentally challenged children. There will be a significant association between the level of emotional well-being and their selected demographic variables in experimental group and control group among mentally challenged children. RESEARCH METHOD: It was Quantitative evaluate approach was used in this study to assess the Effectiveness of sensory stimulation technique on sensory perceptual ability and emotional well-being on mentally challenged children among boys and girls between age group between 5-15 years at Akshara school, Amma Illam, Puthiya uthayam special school, Dindigul. A quasi experimental pre and post-test control group design is selected for the study to assess the effectiveness of sensory stimulation technique on sensory perceptual ability and emotional wellbeing among mentally challenged children. RESULT: Among the sensory perceptual ability it reveals that in experimental group the mean value is 96.8 was lesser than mean post test value 103.2 in the control group. The S.D value is 20.6 in the experimental group and 23.3 in the control group. The obtained ‘t’ value ’18.6 was statistically significant at p(<0.001). The above findings indicates that there is a significant difference in the mean post test level of sensory perceptual ability among mentally challenged children. Thus proving the effectiveness of sensory stimulation techniques in the experimental group. Among the emotional wellbeing. It reveals that in experimental group the mean value is 32.0 was lesser than mean post test value 37.6 in the control group. The S.D value is 6.3 in the experimental group and 8.2 in the control group. The obtained ‘t’ value 6.1 was statistically significant at p(<0.001). The above findings indicates that there is a significant difference in the mean post test level of emotional well-being among mentally challenged children. Thus proving the effectiveness of sensory stimulation techniques in the experimental group.
