One of the most obvious characteristics of children with dyslexia and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder is difficulty in auditory processing, and failure to provide timely intervention for these children has irreparable consequences. The purpose of this research was to develop a cognitive rehabilitation program fast for word and its effectiveness on the auditory processing of children with dyslexia and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The statistical population includes all 7-9-year-old elementary school students in Tehran with dyslexia and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder who were studying in the second semester of 1401 academic year, and 30 eligible volunteers were randomly divided into two experimental groups. 15 people) and witnesses (15 people) were appointed. The experimental group received the fast for word cognitive rehabilitation program in 10 sessions of 45 minutes. The research tools included the fourth version of the Wechsler IQ test, Moradi et al.'s reading and dyslexia test (2015), Connors-Parent Form questionnaire (1998) and Fisher's list of listening problems (1976). Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance. The findings showed that the fast for word cognitive rehabilitation program was effective and improved the auditory processing of children with dyslexia and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder in the experimental group. According to these findings, the fast for word cognitive rehabilitation program is suggested to experts as an effective intervention.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of computer-based cognitive rehabilitation and practical neuropsychological interventions on working memory and sustained attention in students with dyslexia. The method of this study was experimental and its design was multi-group pretest and posttest with control group. Statistical population of this study included elementary students with dyslexia in Amol and Mahmoudabad cities during the academic year of 1397-98, who were referred to learning disability centers. 45 students were selected by convenience sampling method and assisted by diagnostic tests of Raven and reading and dyslexic test (NAMA). They were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental groups were received 14 interventions sessions. The computer version of the n-back test and computer version of the continuous performance task were used for gathering data in two pre and posttest stages. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance. The results showed that computer-based rehabilitation was more effective (P<0.05) on the amount of correct responses in sustained attention, and correct response and reaction time in working memory in comparing to practical neuropsychological exercises. These results reveal that computerized cognitive rehabilitation with providing the visual and audio attractions and the creation of opportunities appropriate to the level of child's development can provide a more appropriate field for improving the defects of the high-quality functions of the minds of people with dyslexia.

Hearing impairment affects all aspect of individual's life, while applying cognitive rehabilitation program based on memory has been associated with effective outcomes. Present study was aimed to determine the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation program based on memory on executive functions and cognitive emotion regulation in students with hearing impairment. The present research was a semi-experimental study with pre-test, post-test design and control group. The participants were 26 girl children with hearing impairment from schools in Isfahan city using convenient method. Subjects were divided into experimental and control groups, each group consisting of 13 children. The experimental group received 10 sessions of cognitive rehabilitation program, while the control group did not. The instruments were Nejati cognitive abilities questionnaire (2013) and Garnefski & Kraaij cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire (2006). Data were analyzed by MANCOVA. The results showed that cognitive rehabilitation program had a significant effect on executive functions and cognitive emotion regulation of subjects. According to the findings, cognitive rehabilitation program based on memory improved executive functions and cognitive emotion regulation in students with hearing impairment. So, this program can be used to improve executive functions and cognitive emotion regulation of these students and planning for providing of cognitive rehabilitation program based on memory for them have particular importance.
