The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of family-based software on reading skills in elementary students with reading disorder. The statistical population of this study included all 3th grade elementary school students with learning disabilities in Mashhad in the academic year of 2017-2018. The sample of this study consisted of 32 individuals (two groups of 16 people). Due to the existence of 10 learning disabilities centers in Mashhad, they were randomly selected from the list of third grade elementary students with learning disabilities and randomly divided into two groups (experimental and control). The data required for this study were obtained through the Reading Performance Test (Karimi & Nouri, 2005). The educational intervention consisted of 10 sessions in families of students with learning disabilities at the beginning of each week receiving appropriate software exercises from the instructor and working with their child throughout the week. The results showed that family-based softwaretraining had a significant effect on reading skills of students with reading disorder (P <0.05). Thus, it can be said that the content of the software along with the instruction given to families to use it at home has accelerated the process of improving reading problems and disabilities in students with reading disabilities.

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the cognitive and linguistic profiles of students with specific learning disability versus students with learning problems. The participants constituted 100 students with learning disabilities and 100 students with learning problems who were matched based on age, gender, grade and IQ. The major evaluation tools that were used in this study included WISC-IV, BRIEF and TOLD-3. The data were analyzed through the multivariate analysis of variances (MANOVA).The results showed that students with specific learning disabilities had lower performance in cognitive profiles compared to learning problem students (P<0/001). Significant differences were found between the two groups. In addition, regarding the linguistic skills, the results indicated that students with specific learning disabilities had lower performance in phonological analysis compared to learning problem students (P<0/001). On the other hand, there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of picture vocabulary, sentence imitation, morphological completion, word discrimination, word articulation, vocabulary, similarities and comprehension. Based on the results of this study, consideration of executive functions and linguistic skills in education and rehabilitation of students with specific learning disabilities and learning problems can lead to effective results.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of psycho-motor exercises on the improvement of handwriting of elementary students. Handwriting problems can be due to factors such as inappropriate writing, inappropriate writing to write or inappropriate physical writing during writing, poor visual-motor coordination, difficulty in motor planning, and fine movement control. To reduce the handwriting problems of elementary school students, one can learn how to write the right instruction (how to get the pencil right, how to put paper on the table when writing, how to sit right while writing), enhancing fine fingers, eye and hand coordination, Strengthening self-esteem, raising attention and concentration, enhancing visual sequence, training the correct form of letters on the pattern, and exercising for correcting coarse-grained and fine-tuning. In this research, the single-subject design was used. The study population consisted of elementary students in Tehran province in the academic year of 96- 1395 who were selected by a researcher-made log book in terms of handwriting problems and trained for 10 sessions. Three data were used to analyze the data, including the base line, during training, and follow-up steps. Each student's score in the base line test, during training, and follow-up is displayed in the form of charts and tables. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that cognitive-motor exercises can be effective in improving the student's handwriting.

The purpose of this research is to provide family-centered educational software for assess its effectiveness the reading skills of elementary students with specific learning disability. The population of this research includes all students in third grad of elementary schools in Mashhad learning disabilities who were enrolled in 2018. The sample of 32 patients (group 16) form according to ten Learning Disorders Center at Mashhad systematic random sampling from the list of students from third basic learning disability centers (N = 215) 32 people selected randomly in two experimental and control groups were located. Data collection for this study by examining the cursor (Karami& Moradi, 2005), respectively. The results showed that family-based education software on children's reading performance with reading bakery (F=540/41,P<0/001 ) it is affect. This means that the content of the application as well as the training that was given to families to use it at home were able to improve reading difficulties and disabilities, students with disabilities accelerated reading up.

One of the disabilities in childhood and adolescence is a Oppositional Defiant Disorder that is the common cause of referring children to psychiatric clinics and counseling. Various therapeutic approaches have been used to improve the symptoms of this disorder. One of the interventions in this area is the Adler and Glasser therapies. The purpose of the present study was to introduce the nature, characteristics, and research evidence about the effectiveness of Adler-Glaser's approach to coping disordered disorder. In the present study, through systematic review of research and the search for specialized keywords related to Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Adler and Glasser's approach in specialized databases of Iran and the world between 1985 and 2017, the findings and the information sought to achieve The purpose of the research was analyzed. For this purpose, the Google Scholar, ERIC, Science Direct and Pubmed databases were extracted and analyzed. Also, some Persian sources used in this field were used.The review of the literature suggests the effectiveness of Adler-Glaser's approach to the symptoms of disobedience disorder. Based on Adler-Glaser's approach, they are not disorderly disordered disorder, but they are discouraged and their five needs have not been answered.

Objective: The current article studies the effective intervention procedures in the context of the behavioral model, Precision Teaching (PT) for children and adolescent with learning or reading disabilities. Methods: Articles and materials were studies by searching some relevant terms such as precision teaching, evidence-based methods/intervention, best practices, and learning disability/disorder. In addition, some domestic studies were extensively reviewed. Rsults: Results indicated that effective interventions in the area of reading difficulties were found in the context of behavioral paradigm. One of the prevalent procedure was PT that has much commonalities with “response to intervention”. PT has some exclusive features such as continuous assessment of student performance, recording and presentation of student performance on a chart, and making educational, and academic decisions based on the performance of students which makes this method more effective for students with reading disabilities. Conclusion: Accordingly, we conclude that PT is an effective method in teaching students with learning disabilities. This technique has attracted investigators and professionals attention due to its special advantages in instruction. Theoretical foundation, principle conceptualization and definition of this technique are elaborated.

The present research aims to study the effect ofcomputer-aided working memory training on executive functions and mathperformances in students with mathematics disorders. This was aquasi-experimental research. From among all the students in centers forlearning disorders, 20 female students with mathematics disorder studying atthe 3rd, 4th and 5th grades of elementaryschools in the educational year 2011-2012 in Tehran were selected usingconvenience sampling method. The subjects were randomly assigned into the twocontrol and experiment groups. the Key Math Diagnostic Arithmetic Test as wellas executive functions tests (including the Tower of London Test, theContinuous Performance Test and Stroop test cards) were carried out on thesubjects. Then, the experiment group (including students with mathematicsdisorder) received 20 sessions of computer-aided working memory training in 7weeks. Afterwards, all the subjects (both experiment and control groups) wereassessed in terms of executive functions and math performances. It isnoteworthy that the control group did not receive any training. Both groupsreceived only the school trainings. One month later, the post-test wasadministrated. The results of the pre-test and post-test were analyzed usingt-test. The results showed that computer-aided working memory training had asignificant effect on executive functions and math performances of studentswith mathematics disorder, and could improve it. The findings of this researchcan be used in neurological and educational interferences
