Abstract: Health is an important component of any one’s life. Persons with intellectual disabilities occupy a peripheral position in the community. Their health status is directly connected with employability. It has been observed that it is essential to empower them and improve their condition. The main purpose of the study was to examine the psychosocial health of persons with Intellectual disability with their employability position with the goal to centralize the focus of the community towards their health and work. The data was collected purposively for working persons with intellectual disability and randomly for nonworking persons with intellectual disability from vocational and rehabilitation centers of Bhopal district of Madhya Pradesh. Self-made questionnaire was prepared for this purpose. The study reveals that their is an intense association between health and work of persons with Intellectual disability. The psychosocial and physical health of working persons with intellectual disability is much more better than that of non-working persons with intellectual disability. We can hence, conclude that persons with intellectual disability who are working tend to enjoy greater independence and raised quality of life as compared to persons with intellectual disability who aren’t employed.
