Non-randomized pre-test post-test control group design was used in quasi-experimental research where fifty-two children with mild and moderate intellectual disabilities fulfilling inclusive and exclusive criteria were placed into experimental and control groups from five special schools of Jammu district in J&K. BASIC-MR, a validated tool was used on both the groups as a pretest and post-test. Children in experimental groups were taught listening and speaking skills using communicative language teaching approach. ANCOVA analysis indicated F (1, 28) = 118.401, p =.000 in the children with mild intellectual disabilities, and F (1, 32) = 77.789, p =.000 in children with moderate intellectual disabilities.
