Abstract
The present study intended to find out the relationship between nonverbal intelligence and adaptive behaviors in children with pre-lingual and post-lingual hearing loss. A total of 200 hearing impaired children were purposively selected from Government Special Education institute in district Khanewal who aged between 6 to 11 years. The Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale, and Raven’s Colored Progressive Matrices were used to collect the data from participating hearing impaired children. Results showed that intelligence has significant positive relationship with daily living and motor skills, and significant negative relationship with communication and socialization skills. The independent samples t test revealed a significant difference in prelingual and post lingual children in intelligence levels with little effect size. Further, the prelingual children showed more motor behavior as compared to children in post lingual group. It is important to gather a wide range of data on adaptive behavior and intelligence, including information on performance in various contexts, from various sources, and using varied techniques.
