Abstract

Specific learning disability is one of the most common childhood disorders that in some cases, continues into adulthood and affects various aspects of their future lives. The higher prevalence of learning disability with reading impairment in the country's schools and the problems caused by it requires special attention. Children with this disorder, in addition to having difficulty reading, also have problems in other areas. The educational system is usually based on teaching materials and issues related to other areas such as special education and empowerment of the parents of these children have been neglected. While empowering parents can not only help improve the psychological issues that these children are struggling with because of the disorder, it can also be useful in improving the executive functions of these children. In this research, with a synthetic research approach and considering the seven-stage model of Sandlowski and Barso, we examined articles published in Iranian magazines and foreign research articles. Out of 104 articles appropriate to the purpose of the research, 29 articles with the desired conditions were selected and examined in depth. The concepts extracted from this study were summarized in the form of 168 codes and 91 sub-categories, and finally, 24 main categories were obtained. Then, according to the obtained results, the training package of 8 parenting sessions was designed in accordance with the special conditions and characteristics of children with a specific learning disability with reading impairment for the parents of these children.
