Behavioral problems such as low self-control cause communicational and psychological damages in the children. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of executive functions training on the parent-child interaction and the children’s social behaviors with low self-control. The present study was experimental with pretest, posttest and control group design. The statistical population of the present study included the children with low self-control in the city of Isfahan in academic year 2020-21. 40 children were selected through multi-stage clustered random sampling method and they were randomly accommodated into experimental and control groups (each group of 20 children). The experimental group received ten seventy-five-minute sessions of intervention regarding executive functions training (Fischer et al, 2005) during two months. Three children from the experimental group and two from the control group were omitted from the study. The applied questionnaires in this study included Children's Self-control Questionnaire (Kendal & Wilcox, 1979), Parent child relationship scale or (Piyanta, 1994) and social skills questionnaire. The data from the study were analyzed through ANCOVA method . The results showed that executive functions training have significant effect on the parent-child interaction and social behaviors of the children with low self-control. According to the findings of the present study it can be concluded that executive functions training can be employed as an efficient method to improve parent-child interaction and social behaviors of the children with low self-control through employing techniques such as Increase focus and accuracy, organize activities, respond to deterrence, control impulsivity, and plan training.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a parent-centered intervention based on Incredible years on adaptive behavior of 5-7 years old intellectual disability children. This study was experimental with pretest-posttest design and follow-up with control group. The statistical population included all educable intellectual disability students who were studying in special centers in Lordegan in 2018. Thirty people were randomly selected and assigned to two groups of 15 (experimental and control). The vinland Adaptive Behavior Questionnaire was administered to the two groups as a pre-test. Then the parents of the experimental group were treated to an incredible interventional program for 12 sessions and the control group's parents did not receive any intervention during this period. At the end of the intervention period and 3 months later, the Vineland Behavioral Test was again administered to the two groups as post-test and follow-up respectively. The obtained data were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA using spss22 software. The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the performance of the two experimental and control groups in adjustment behavior (p <0.001). Therefore, it can be concluded that the intervention program of the incredible years was effective in improving the behavioral behavior of intellectual disability children and the subscales of occupational problems, socialization, communication and self-help dress , and the viability of the intervention program remained after 3 months.
