One of the most obvious characteristics of children with dyslexia and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder is difficulty in auditory processing, and failure to provide timely intervention for these children has irreparable consequences. The purpose of this research was to develop a cognitive rehabilitation program fast for word and its effectiveness on the auditory processing of children with dyslexia and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The statistical population includes all 7-9-year-old elementary school students in Tehran with dyslexia and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder who were studying in the second semester of 1401 academic year, and 30 eligible volunteers were randomly divided into two experimental groups. 15 people) and witnesses (15 people) were appointed. The experimental group received the fast for word cognitive rehabilitation program in 10 sessions of 45 minutes. The research tools included the fourth version of the Wechsler IQ test, Moradi et al.'s reading and dyslexia test (2015), Connors-Parent Form questionnaire (1998) and Fisher's list of listening problems (1976). Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance. The findings showed that the fast for word cognitive rehabilitation program was effective and improved the auditory processing of children with dyslexia and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder in the experimental group. According to these findings, the fast for word cognitive rehabilitation program is suggested to experts as an effective intervention.

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of play therapy based on cognitive-behavioral therapy on challenging behaviors of high-functioning autistic children. The research method was semi-experimental with pre-test and post-test design with control group. The statistical population of this study was all children aged 8 to 12 years old with autism spectrum disorder in health care centers of Arak in 2018. In this study, 16 high-functioning autistic children were selected by available sampling method using a questionnaire for measuring the range of autism spectrum disorder. They were randomly assigned to two groups of experimental (8 subjects) and control (8 subjects) groups. The Revised Scale of Challenging Behaviours of Bodfish, Symons, Parker & Lewis (2000), was used to assess challenging behaviors. The experimental group received 10 cognitive-behavioral treatments in a 10-minute session during a one-month period, while the control group did not receive such an intervention. At the end, the two groups were evaluated again. Data were analyzed using covariance analysis. The findings of this study showed that play therapy based on cognitive-behavioral therapy has a significant role in reducing the challenging behaviors of high-functioning autistic children.
