Sample was drawn from four special schools of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, it consists thirty disability children. The selection of sample is simple random sampling technique used and randomly selected control group and experimental group. Each group has fifteen students. The research design used for this study was Pre-test and Post-test control group design. The students in the experimental group were taught functional words through computer assisted instruction and control group were taught through conventional method. Intervention was carried out for six weeks. The results indicated that there is a significant improvement in learning functional words. In addition, learning functional words among the students in experimental group was higher than the control group. From the results, it is clear that the children who were taught through computer assisted instruction have achieved higher score than the children who were taught through conventional method. The present study explores computer assisted instruction had created interest, eagerness and motivation in children with mild intellectual disability.
