Theaim of present study was to predict academic performance of students with ADHD based on the stress and parental approach. Method of the present study is corelational. The study population were includedall third grade studentswith ADHD in school year (91-92) of Hamadan and 50 subjects among them were selected byusing available sampling as a participating in the study. For screeningand data collection, were used family-school questionnaire (Midget, 2000), parent Conner’s rating scale (Connors, 1998 ) Parental Stress Scale (Barry and Jones,1995), theRaven Intelligence Scale for children and self-made academic performance test. descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation andinferential statistical such as correlation and stepwise regression analysis was used to analyze of data. The results showed that there is a positive andsignificant relationship between academic performance of students with ADHD andparent’s instrument approach but parental stress and parent’s controlling approach aresignificant negative correlation with academic performance of their children.The results showed that parental stress and parent’s controlling approach could have significantly to predict the academic performance of students with ADHD. Parentalstress was also the best predictor of their academic performance. The findings indicate that although child with ADHD could have many challenges for parents however with educating parents and get help from counselors and psychologists can improverelations between children and parents and helped them to achieve better academic results.

This research aims at studying the effects of Fernald multi-sensory & Frostig visual perception methods on improvement of reading performance in 2nd grade dyslexic male students in elementary schools in Hamedan. The subjects are 45 2nd grade dyslexic male students in elementary schools in Hamedan, out of which 15 students are placed in Fernald multi-sensory experimental group and 15 others in Frostig visual perception experimental group. The remaining 15 students are considered as the control group. The subjects are selected from a population through dyslexia check list based on teachers’ idea. In order to homogenize the groups, Raven's Children IQ Test is used. After performing the pre-test, Multi-sensory experimental group receives Fernald multi-sensory instruction, and the visual perception experimental group receives Frostig visual perception instruction for 10 sessions. However, the control group does not receive any instructions. Falah Chay Reading Test (1995) is administered for the three groups as pre-test and post-test. For data analysis, T-Test and Analysis of Covariance are used. The results show that the groups trained with Fernald multi-sensory and Frostig visual perception methods perform better in reading, comprehending the meaning of sentences and reading performance than the control group. Meanwhile, the group trained with Fernald multi-sensory has a better performance in reading and comprehending the meaning of sentences in comparison with the one receiving the Frostig visual perception method. It can therefore be concluded that the above said methods can improve the reading performance in dyslexic male students, and among these two methods, Fernald multi-sensory method may be applied as the more effective method in improvement of the reading performance in these students.
