years old, from the exceptional school of Torbat Jam city, from which the sample was divided into two groups of
30 people non-randomly (30 test people - 30 control people). Then the test group was divided into 6 groups of 5
people, according to the basic for the test group, a communication skills protocol was implemented. Then, for the
test group, a 14-session communication skills training protocol was implemented (each session for 20 minutes),
and the control group did not receive training in this phase. Aggression questionnaire (Shahim-1386) and
children's adjustment questionnaire (Dakhanchi-1377) were used, data analysis with SPSS-22 software and
descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (multivariate covariance analysis-t
test) independent regression was performed.
Result: The results showed that communication skills training has an effect in reducing aggression and increasing
adaptation of mentally disabled children.

their adaptability increased. Therefore, the intervention method of communication skills can be used as a specific
