The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of interpersonal creative problem-solving training programs on the creativity and social skills of labor children. The design of the study was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest and a control group. Using random sampling, 20 labor boys aged 7 to 10 years were selected and assigned as experimental and control groups (each group consisted of 10 people). The experimental group participated in a creative problem-solving program for 15 sessions (70-90 minutes each session). Forms A and B of the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (TTCT) and Teacher’s form of Gresham and Elliot questionnaire of social skills (SSRS) were used as the measurement tools. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS software 26 and analysis of the covariance. The findings showed significant differences between the experimental and the control group in creativity and social skills. Accordingly, a creative problem-solving program is recommended as a preventive program for labor children.

The purpose of this research was to determine the effectiveness of digital storytelling on emotion regulation of children with autism. Research design was a quasi-experimental that included a pretest and posttest that was conducted on both the experimental group, and control group. The statistical population of the study included all children with autism spectrum in the Child-parent at a university clinic. For this purpose, 20 children with autism were selected and were assigned into two experimental and control groups randomly (each group 10 children). The experimental group received storytelling program for 12 sessions of 45 minutes and control group waited in the waiting list. All subjects completed Emotion Relation Checklist (Sheilds & Cicchetti, 1998) before and after the training. The obtained data were analyzed using Analysis of the Covariance. The findings showed significant differences between the experimental and the control group in emotion regulation. At the end, using digital storytelling program for improving emotion management was recommended.

The purpose of this research was to study the effect of cognitive, family-based games on working memory and mathematics performances of students with dyscalculia. This study was conducted through a quasi-experimental research design with a pretest-posttest and a control group. Among the students with moderate intelligence and with at least 1.5 standard deviation below the mean in the test of K-math, 30 were selected by convenience sampling, and were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The K-math test and the Wechsler digit span were used as data collection tools. The cognitive family-centered program was administered to the experimental group in 12 sessions (i.e., two one-hour sessions per week). The results of data analysis using Multiple Analysis of the Covariance (MANCOVA) showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in working memory and mathematical performances. Thus, it can be concluded that the conducted interventions for rehabilitation can be used as a useful complementary intervention to reduce problems of students with dyscalculia.
