Abstract

Due to the fact that dyslexic children have more difficulty in reading and comprehension than children who are average or above-average readers, so the purpose of this study is the Effectiveness of Visual and Auditory Perception Program on Fluency and Reading Perception in Students with Dyslexia disorder. In this applied research, a single-subject research design and a multi-baseline design with different subjects were used. The statistical population studied in this study included all students with reading disorders in the second grade of elementary school who went to Tonekabon Health Learning Disorders Center in the academic year 2009-2010. The sample includes three students with reading disabilities who are selected by available means who were studying in different schools. First, the WISC-IV children’s Wechsler test, reading and dyslexia test (façade), and Researcher-made comprehension test were completed. The sessions were conducted by the researcher, after the end of the fifteenth session, and 1 month later (in order to evaluate the sustainability of the effectiveness of the educational program) The questionnaires were completed again by the children of both groups. The results showed that the training of visual-auditory perception has improved reading skills and comprehension in all subjects. So it seems that an audio-visual perception training program is a good intervention method to improve reading and comprehension. Promoting the health of students who are diagnosed with dyslexia, this intervention is an effective tool by which the reiterated goal can be achieved.
