According to Census of India, 2011 approximately 20.3% disability is due to movement, which is higher than all disabilities. If the person is adolescent and orthopedically challenged too, then the problems related to different areas like personal, social, emotional and vocational etc. become more complex. Such pressures may result in withdrawal, complete destruction of self, mental illnesses, drug abuse or enormous hostility etc. Resilience is the positive capacity of people to cope with stress and catastrophe. The researcher decided to work on adolescents especially who have difficulty in movement. The purpose of this study is to compare the Orthopedically Challenged and Non-Challenged adolescents on resilience and its various dimensions. The study was conducted on 120 orthopaedically challenged and 120 non-challenged adolescents (11-18 years) from different rural/urban area of Uttar Pradesh. Hindi version of the Resilience scale for children and adolescents (Sandra, Prince &Embury 2006) was used to assess resilience having three dimensions i.e. sense of mastery, sense of relatedness, emotional reactivity. The results show that on the basis of t-test there is a significant difference among orthopaedically challenged and non-challenged adolescents on resilience and its dimensions.
