Modern knowledge and methods of medical sociological science are opening new horizons of promise for physically and mentally handicapped people, but prejudice and discrimination serve to counteract such potential benefits. The medical profession, being particularly close to family with the problem, can be a major influence, depending on its familiarity with the effect of positive or negative attitude towards those affected. Parents’ first indication that they may have a mentally retarded child generally comes from a physician. The at large still views the family doctor as the most logical and reliable source of advice to parents of a retarded child. Sometimes even the parents are discriminating the children with or without mental retardation. Kagan and Havernann (1980) explain that it is the emotional component of an attitude that distinguishes it from a belief. In this study the attitude will be used loosely to cover parent’s behaviour, perceptions, reactions, values, feelings, etc, as the socio economic status plays a role in developing attitude towards mentally retarded children. Normally those are in this situation the investigator decided to carry out the research in this area to find out the present level of parents attitude towards mentally challenged children in relation to the socio economic status. Objectives of this are to study the significant difference in attitude towards mentally challenged children among parent with respect to their qualification, to study the significant difference in attitude towards mentally challenged children among parent with respect to their family type and to study the significant difference in attitude towards mentally challenged children among parent with respect to their socio economic status .parent attitude towards mentally challenged children scale(PAMCCS) was developed by researcher and socio economic status scale developed by Rajbir Singh, RaheyShyam and Satish Kumar. 140 parents were selected through systematic sampling technique. The results are attitude towards mentally challenged children among parents is differing significantly with respect to their qualification. Attitude towards mentally challenged children of parents are not differing significantly with respect to their socio economic status. Differently abled children should be taken care in the world. In the life of mentally challenged children the parents are playing a big role. So the child should not humiliate but they should be appreciated.
