Intellectual Disability is a one of the major disabilities under the Rights of the Persons with Disability Act (RPWD Act) 2016. It is a condition of arrested or incomplete development of mind. RPWD Act, 2016 defined intellectual disability in the terms of significant limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental age, i.e. before the age of 18 years of life. Intellectual functioning includes limitations in reasoning, learning, problem-solving skills, cognition, etc. Intellectual Disabilities can be caused by many genetic factors, environmental and psycho-social factors among them prenatal influences up on the development of the child occupied the most supreme position. Therefore, this study aims to identify the influences of prenatal factors on the birth of children with intellectual disabilities.
