The aim of this study is to develop a parenting program based on the experiences of mothers of children with specific learning disorder (SLD) and assess its effect on parenting stress and children's academic emotions. In the first phase, the "parenting program based on the experiences of mothers with children with specific learning disorder (SLD)" was developed. The second part of the study was semi-experimental pre-test, post-test, follow-up with a control group. Thirty mothers of children with specific learning disorder (SLD) were selected through convenience sampling and divided randomly into the experimental (15 subjects) and control (n = 15) groups. The research instruments were the Parenting Stress Index (PSI) and the Academic Emotions Questionnaire. The parenting program was presented during eight sessions (once a week), and each session lasted for 60 minutes. Data were analyzed by the repeated measure ANOVA and analyzed by the SPSS-23 software. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of parenting stress and children's academic emotions in post-test and follow up (P <0.05) scores. According to the results of this study, it can be concluded that the parenting program based on the experiences of mothers of children with specific learning disorder (SLD) has an effect on parenting stress and children's academic emotions of children.

Abstract The aim of the present study was to develop a child-centered neuropsychological Earlyinterventions package and to assess its effectiveness on the performance of children with developmental cognitive delay. The research method was a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design with follow-up and control group. The research population consisted of 4-6 year-old children with developmental delay who were under training in kindergartens and preschool centers in Tabriz. The multistage random sampling method was employed in such a way that three regions were selected randomly and from each of them, three kindergartens and pre-school centers were randomly selected. The interventions were designed by the researchers. Then, the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence-3 (WPPSI-III) was administered on children for screening, and the number of 30 students with development cognitive delays and enjoyed inclusion criteria were randomly selected and divided into two experimental and control groups. Afterwards, a 16-session child-centered neuropsychological intervention program was performed on the experimental group and the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were analyzed by the repeated measures ANOVA using SPSS- 22. The results indicated that there was a significant difference between the subjects in the experimental group and control group in terms of linguistic performance in post-test and follow up stages (P <0.05). As a result, it can be concluded that a child-centered neuropsychological interventions package has led to an increase in linguistic performance in children with developmental cognitive delays.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of group intervention treatment on the improvement of social skills, academic competence and the reduction of behavior problems in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. The study is based on the A-B-A single-subject design. Using the purposive sampling, three students were selected. Training sessions, which were based on Derosier social skills training program, consisted of ten lessons that were held for five months in twenty 40-minute sessions. Using the Social Skills Improvement System (SSIS), during and after each 3-training session, the evaluation was carried out. In order to track the training results, the questionnaire was filled out by the trainer one month later. According to the data visual analysis results, this program succeeded to improve the social skills and behavior problems in all of the three participants. Regarding the improvement of the academic competence, this program proved to be effective only for the first participant. According to the research findings, the nature of the group interventions, which creates more opportunities for interaction and an increase in the motivation for children to relate, not only leads to social skills and relation improvement, but also has a direct and positive impact on the behavior problems( including the reduction of bullying, internalizing and externalizing symptoms). Regarding the effect of this program on academic competence, further research is needed.

Abstract The current research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Renzulli’s Enrichment Triad Program on Creativity of sharp-witted primary school level students. . research method was Experimental with pretest - posttest and control group. The statistical universe of the current research consisted of all sharp-witted students of the city of Karaj in the educational year of 2015-2016. For this purpose, the number of 76 sharp-witted students was selected through multi stage cluster random sampling method and was randomly placed in two experimental and control groups (38 people in the experimental group and another 38 in the control group) and their mothers, too responded to the questions of Abedi’s Creativity. The experimental group , During the twelve two-hour sessions The Renzulli’s Enrichment Triad Program was administered on the experimental group but The control group not received training in this issue . The research Data were collected by Abedi’s Creativity Test and with analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) were analyzed .The findings showed that Renzulli’s Enrichment Triad Program has been effective in increasing female creativity. In general it can be concluded that Renzulli’s Enrichment Triad Program Can affect on children's creativity.

The present study was to investigate the effectiveness of spatial relations perception training on the mathematics performance of boy students with math learning disability. The research method was experimental with pretest-posttest control group design. The statistical population of the study included elementary students in grade three with mathematics learning disability in the city of Isfahan in year 2011-12. In order to do the study 30 students were selected through cluster random sampling method. The applied instruments included WexlerIntelligence Scale for Children4, dyscalculia diagnosis test, math academic performance test. 30 students were randomly selected and they were put into experimental and control groups among the boy students who had been diagnosed to have math learning disability. The data were analyzed through Covariance method. The results showed that there was a significant difference between groups (P<0.0001). Therefore, the independent variable had made a significant difference in the experimental group and it leaded to the improvement of math academicperformance in male children with math learning disability in elementary school. It is suggested to apply spatial relations perception training in teaching mathematics to students.
