The present study has explored the philosophical bases and principles of exclusive approach in education.Through content analysis of accessible literature of the field, gathered from academic libraries in Tehran and related online sites, the suppositions of the approach and its philosophical roots and principles has presented. Then an accepted philosophy and principles of education in Islamic Republic of Iran has been introduced. By considering the geographical situation of Iran and its educational system, the methods and experiences which have been suggested and executed in exclusive education systems all over the world, it seems that the approach has not the best potential for promoting special needs education in quantitative as well as quailtative aspects in Iran. In this way, the equity in access to and quality of education will not be guaranteed for all Iranian children.

Dyslexia is the most common category of learning disability that related to delay and insufficiency in reading ability, and is diagnose with significant insufficiency at appearance of vocabulary recognition skills and also understanding readied concepts. Therefore, the aim of present research was to study the effectiveness of self- instructional technique on reading skill and academic self-efficacy in dyslexic students. The research method of the present study was quasi experimental. Statistics population in this research were include of all dyslexic primary students between third and fourth grade students of Karaj city, in 2015-2016 academic year. 30 of these students were selected via multi-stage randomized method and randomly placed into experimental and control groups. The data collection instruments of this study include the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Wechsler, 1969), Dyslexic check list (Aziziyan and Abedi, 2003), Academic self-efficacy questionnaire (Bandura, 2001) and reading performance test (Yarmohammadian et al., 1394). Multivariate covariance analysis was used to analysis of data . The research results showed that self-instructional technique training was effective in their reading performance, reading speed, concept perception, academic self-efficacy improvement. Also training led to decrease reading errors in dyslexic students. Therefore, according to this findings we offer to use from this technique to reading performance improvement and self-efficacy at this group of children at schools. Also we recommended to use from this technique for increase of educational performance and and educational difficulties at schools at this group of children.

The aim of this study is to compare responsibility between siblings of students with and without intellectual disabilities. The statistical population of this research includes the whole adolescents (aged between 12 and 18) who have siblings with and without intellectual disabilities in Shiraz city. The sample size is 170 adolescents (80 adolescents having siblings with intellectual disabilities and 90adolescents with normal siblings) that are selected by purposeful sampling. Adolescents' Responsibility Questionnaire is used for measuring the responsibility. Analysis of the data using two-way analysis of variance test shows that the responsibility of siblings of students with intellectual disabilities is significantly more than the responsibility of siblings of students without intellectual disabilities. Moreover multiple variance analysis shows that except loyalty, all the other minor scales of responsibility in siblings of students with intellectual disabilities are significantly higher than sibling of normal students. According to the findings, it is suggested that the responsibility model in siblings of students with intellectual disabilities should be studied and used by normal families so that their children become more responsible

Objective: This study investigates the prevalence of symptoms of attention deficit / hyperactivitydisorder (ADHD) in gifted students of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmadprovince.
Method:The present study is a descriptive (epidemiology) research. 1800 students (800 girls & 1000 boys) were selected using multistage cluster sampling from among 34,529 students of state and private middle schools in the academic year 2010–2011. Finally, the participants we selected were 220 students (77 girls & 143 boys) with an IQ of 127 or more. The data were collected by diagnostic questionnaire of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, clinical interview with students and their mothers, and Raven Progressive Matrix. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistical method and Chi square test.
Results:Generally, 8/2 percent of gifted students (%6/8 of whom were girls and %9 were boys) had ADHD symptoms. Thus, considering the standard error of estimate, the overall prevalence of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder in gifted students was seen to be in the range of 4/7 to 11/7 percent.
Conclusion: ADHD symptoms can affect the intelligence of students. Therefore, belated diagnosis of ADHD in gifted students might cause problems in their treatment and also their academic and social progress.
Recommendations:The results of the present study can be applied in educational settings and show the necessity of providing psychological and counseling services for management and treatment of this disorder. Offering such services in schools for gifted students could prevent the negative consequences of this disorder in their educational and social life.

Object: This study conducted to identify the target groups of research center for psychology and special needs in psychological, social, spiritual and physical aspects. Material and method: The study is a qualitative research with grounded theory method. After reviewing the relevant literature, 10 groups were purposed as individuals with special needs and 100 people were selected through a purposeful sampling. These groups included: children, aged people, people with a sensory motor disability, psychiatric patients and mental retards, people with special medical needs. Substance abusers, prisoners, marginated people or minorities, people with low socioeconomic status, pregnant women. Data was collected in semi-structured interviews and then was analyzed with Strauss & Corbin coding manner or continued comparison. Findings: Most important domains of special needs in our groups were: family, education, amusement, movement and transportation, building and places (houses and public places), social participation and occupation, treatment and rehabilitation services, and people's attitude toward their problems. Result: "special need" term is related to disability, disability often is due to one's characteristics and obstacles caused from society. There are several barriers in obviating the needs and majority of them are occured by human such as non efficient systems and services, discriminatory policies, prejudice attitudes, etc. in order to enhancing social participation of disabled people and promoting their life styles as equal as other people, the public systems such as places and buildings, houses, transportation, educational and vocational opportunities and socio-cultural life (e.g. sport and amusement equipments) should be available for all people in a equal way and proper to their abilities and needs.

The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of environmental variables (parent-child relationship), locus of control, and academic performance to explain the depression of the children with ADHD. After screening the fifth grade elementary school students by Conner's teacher rating scale, throughDiagnostic Interview Schedule for Children (according to DSM-IV), 113 children were selected as the clinical group. Behavioral management and parenting stress scales as ADHD symptoms indicators were given to mothers, and academic performance test, parent-child relationship questionnaire,locus of control and depression scale were administrated on the children. Pearson correlation coefficientsindicated positive relationships between depression with inattention dimension.There was also a significant relationship between the three mediating variables with depression and inattention dimension of ADHD. Structural equation modeling indicated the importance of parent-child relationship as a mediator variable for inattention-depression relationship. Academic achievement and locus of control couldn’t beeffective mediators in this model. Results of the current study implied the importance of parent-child relationship in ADHD children's depression. This result should be more considered in counselingwith these children.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine and compare the effectiveness of achievement motivation, self-efficacy and self-esteem group trainings on self-esteem of physically disabled females in Isfahan city.
Method: Research design was semi-experimental. The statistical population included all 18-35 year old women members of Isfahan branch of the NGO named the Society of Disabled. A random sample of 80 of the statistical population was selected, and after responding to Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale(RSES), forty of the primary sample whose self-esteem scores were lower than the other half were selected as the final sample and assigned to three experimental groups and one control group randomly. Then nine weekly sessions of self esteem group training, self-efficacy group training, and achievement motivation group training were administrated for 1, 2, and 3 experimental groups respectively. At the end of all sessions, post- test (RSES) again administrated for three experimental groups and control group. For assessing subject's characteristics, in addition Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), a demographic characteristics questionnaire was used. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance and LSD Post Hoc test. Probability level P<0/05 was used to test the hypotheses.
Results: Results showed a significant effect for self esteem group training(P=0/023), self-efficacy group training(P=0/006), and achievement motivation group training(P=0/016); but there was no significant difference between the effect of self esteem group training, self-efficacy group training and achievement motivation group training. Conclusion and recommendations: self esteem group training, self-efficacy group training and achievement motivation group training can be effective for enhance self-esteem of physically disabled persons and in result for their rehabilitation. Accordingly it is proposed that these three types of educational programs be implemented on a regular basis in medical centers and educational and non-governmental organizations for people with physical disabilities.

Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) experience serious difficulties in identifying, explaining and adjusting to their own and other people’s emotions. A considerable amount of researches has been devoted to finding effective strategies for addressing the problem. The present study examines effectiveness of group social skills training in dealing with alexithymia in male patients aged 10 to 12 who were diagnosed with autism. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test and a control group. The sample included 14 autistic boys who were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to the experimental and the control group (7 each). The Alexithymia Questionnaire for Children (Reiffe, Oosterveld and Meerum, 2006) was used for assessing the children in the pre- and post-tests. The experimental group received seven 45-minute sessions of social skills training adopted from Ozonoff (2002). The data were analyzed using repeated measures in SPSS-17 software. The results showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the post-test phase, with the former showing a significant decrease in alexithymia. The study suggests that social skills training programs could be used in dealing with alexithymia in autistic children and in designing curricula for them.

The purpose of this descriptive-correlational study is to investigate the relationship between goal orientations in mathematics and dimensions of creativity among students of schools for the gifted and talented, public schools for high achieving students, and ordinary public schools. To this end, 410 high school junior students (216 girls and 194 boys) are selected by stratified-cluster sampling. Mathematics Goal Orientations Scale and Multiple-Choice Paper-Pencil Questionnaire of Creativity are used as measuring instruments. The components of Mathematics Goal Orientations Scale include mastery goal-orientation, performance-approach goal-orientation, and performance-avoidance goal-orientation. Fluency, elaboration, originality, and flexibility are the four dimensions of Multiple-Choice Paper-Pencil Questionnaire of Creativity. Previous investigations in Iran have revealed validity and reliability of these instruments. Also, internal validity of these instruments is confirmed in the present study. The results are indicative of positive correlations between mastery goal-orientation, performance-approach goal-orientation and dimensions of creativity. In contrast, there is a negative relationship between performance-avoidance goal-orientation and dimensions of creativity. Multiple regression analysis revealed that mastery goal-orientation is the most important predictor of creativity dimensions and total creativity. Also, performance-approach goal-orientation positively predicted flexibility of creation. Increase in performance-avoidance goal-orientation reduces creativity in terms of fluency. This investigation revealed that students of regular public schools, achievers are less mastery goal-oriented compared to students of public schools for high. In contrast, these students are more performance-avoidance goal-oriented compared to high achievers. In addition, students of schools for the gifted and talented and public schools for high achievers are more fluent in thinking. Students of public schools for high achievers showed more fluency and elaboration in comparison with students of ordinary public schools.

This study is to investigate the relationship between fivefold dimensions of attachment, and internalizing and externalizing disorders among Tehran`s adolescent girls. The research is descriptive and is done based on correlation. The statistical society is all Tehran’s14–17 year-old girls in the academic year 1395,in which 115 girls were chosen based on availability sampling method. Data was collected by self-report inventory of child behavior checklist (YSR) of Achenbach and McConaughy (1991), and attachment styles questionnaire (ASQ) of Feeney and Noller (1994), and was analyzed by Pearson correlation and stepwise regression analysis. Results show that externalizing disorders have respectively negative and positive significant relationship with the dimensions of trust and need for approval, and internalizing disorders have significant positive relationship with need for approval dimension.The results of stepwise regression show that need for approval dimension is predictor of internalizing disorder, and trust and need for approval dimensions are predictors of externalizing disorders. This study illustrates the importance of need for approval dimension as a significant predictor for both internalizing and externalizing disorders in adolescent girls, and presents the pattern of low confidence and high need for approval to predict externalizing disorders in adolescent girls. So, training parents about needs of each stage of development is necessary and can influence attachment and mental health.
