Abstract
The present study was conducted to examine efficacy of rehabilitation
services for emotional and intellectual functioning of street children in
Pakistan. It was hypothesized that emotional and intellectual functioning
and achievement of street children would improve after availing
rehabilitation services. Pre and post design was used and 17 street
children were recruited through an organization. Human Figure Drawing
(Koppitz, 1968) and Draw-a Person Intellectual Ability test (Reynolds &
Hickman, 2004) were individually administered to assess emotional and
intellectual functioning and achievement of street children. PairedSamples t-test analyses revealed significant improvement in emotional
functioning, intellectual ability and achievement of street children
subsequent to the provision of rehabilitation services. It is concluded that
rehabilitation services are useful for emotional well being and intellectual
functioning of street children.
