The Aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the training package Reinforcement lateral domination over the components of executive functions including: initiation, working memory, planning, organizing and monitoring and visual perception components including: Visual spatial-Relationship, visual Form-Constancy, visual Sequential-memory and VisualFigure-Ground of children with Specific learning disabilities. The method of the present study was experimental with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. From elementary school children from 7 to 12 years old who were diagnosed with Specific learning disabilities in psychology clinics in Tehran in 2020, 30 people were randomly selected and then randomly replaced in two groups of 15 experimental and control. The Edinburgh inventory and Delacato Neurodevelopmental Scale, TVPS-R Visual Perception Test and Brief’s Behavioral Rating Scale of Executive Functions were used to collect data. The results of analysis of covariance showed that the training package had an effect on executive functions (p <0.01 and F = 8.47) and visual perception (F=10.20 and P<0/01) in children with Specific learning disabilities in the experimental group.Keywords: Specific learning disabilities, Lateral Dominance, Executive Functions, Visual Perception, Children.
