This study aimed to investigate the lived experience of parents of students with specific learning disabilities (SLD), during the Corona pandemic. The research method was phenomenological, of lived experience type. For this purpose, among the parents of students with specific learning disabilities in the academic year 2019-2020, whose children were under house quarantine due to the Corona pandemic and school closures, the parents of 20 students were purposefully selected and participated in the study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data, and the data were categorized and analyzed by Colaizzi’s method. The results showed that the lived experiences of parents of students with specific learning disabilities during the Corona pandemic included six main categories: (1) Child psychological problems, (2) Child behavioral problems, (3) Child cognitive problems, (4) Child educational problems, (5) Parenting problems, and (6) Child improper skills. It can be concluded that the poor skills of the parents of students with specific learning disabilities in the mentioned areas can increase the problems of these students and their parents during the home quarantine. Therefore, appropriate training courses in these areas need to be provided for parents of students with specific learning disabilities.

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.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of targeted reading intervention (TRI) on comprehension in students with specific learning disability (SLD). The design of study was quasi experimental pre-test/post-test with control group. The statistical population consisted of all male students with SLD at grade 3 at schools of Dorche city in 2016. The sample included 30 students that were selected by Simple Random Sampling and then assigned into two groups of 15 people (experimental group and control group). The experimental group parents received the targeted reading intervention (Sisson and Sisson, 2014) for 12 sessions and 3 sessions in per week. At this time, the control group didn’t receive any intervention. The data was collected by the NAMA reading and dyslexia test (korminori and Moradi, 2005) and MANCOVA was analyzed. The results showed that TRI was efficient on comprehension was significant with α=0.05 level. Therefore, the targeted reading intervention can be suggested to increase comprehension skills of students with SLD.
