Objective: The present study aimed is Comparison of the Effectiveness of Animal-Assisted Therapy and play therapy In reducing Primary school children Components of behavioral disorders. Method: To investigate research assumptions, in semi-experimental formatting, 45 student were selected through Randomly sampling, and placed randomly in the Animal-Assisted Therapy (15 student), play therapy (15 student) and control group (15 student). All three groups in a pre-test, post-test were assessed by Rutter behavioral disorders scale. The experiment groups was exposed to 10 sessions Animal-Assisted Therapy and play therapy, the control groups was not exposed to any intervention. The data were analyzed by Multivariate analysis of variance and post hoc test (Bonferoni). Results: The results showed that effect of Animal-Assisted Therapy was not significant on the components of behavioral disorders. The results also showed that the effect of play therapy on the components of behavioral disorders was significant. The results of Bonferroni post hoc test showed that the two treatments were not significantly different in all components.Conclusion: According to the research findings, It seams Assisted Therapy and play therapy Have played an important role In reducing Primary school children behavioral disorders.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of flexibility in prediction of symptoms of behavioral disorders in educable mentally retarded children in primary school mediated with parenting styles. This study is descriptive correlational research. In this research, 158 mentally retarded students in primary school were selected from two Special Schools in Tabriz using purposeful sampling method. Then, Child Behavior Checklist (Achenbach) and Parenting Styles(Baumrind,) were completed by parents, and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (Berg and Grant ) was done by the subjects using a computer. After discarding 8 illegible questionnaires, the collected data of 150 subjects has been analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares approach. Results of the study showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between flexibility with symptoms of behavioral disorders (P=0.001) and also between the authoritative parenting style and the symptoms of behavioral disorders (P=0.006). Moreover, most parents had an authoritative parenting style (79%). In addition, the results of Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach revealed that flexibility and authoritative parenting style were able to predict the symptoms of behavioral disorders (P=0/001). The results of this study indicate the role of flexibility and authoritative parenting style in the symptoms of behavioral disorders of educable mentally retarded children . Therefore, it is suggested that new therapeutic interventions be designed to rehabilitate flexibility of educable mentally retarded children, and also educational sessions be held for training the parents of educable mentally retarded children about parenting styles

Behavioral disorders affect all aspect of individual's life, while applying incredible years’ parent program has been associated with effective outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate of the effectiveness of incredible years’ parent program on the interaction of mother-child with behavioral disorder in Isfahan city. The present research was a semi-experimental study with pre-test, post-test design and control group. The participants were 30 mothers of children with behavioral disorder from Amirkabir elementary school in Isfahan city that selected by random sampling method. Subjects were divided into experimental and control groups, each group consisting of 15 mothers. The experimental group participated at 12 sessions of incredible years’ program, while the control group did not. The instrument was done using the parent-child relationship scale of Piyanta. Multivariate analysis of covariance was used by SPSS (version 23) for analyzing the data. The results showed that incredible years’ program training had a significant effect on the interaction and all subscales (conflict, closeness, dependency) in children with behavioral disorders (P<0.001). The incredible years’ program training can improve interaction of mother-child with behavioral disorder. Therefore, planning for providing this program has a particular importance.
