The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of psycho-motor exercises on the improvement of handwriting of elementary students. Handwriting problems can be due to factors such as inappropriate writing, inappropriate writing to write or inappropriate physical writing during writing, poor visual-motor coordination, difficulty in motor planning, and fine movement control. To reduce the handwriting problems of elementary school students, one can learn how to write the right instruction (how to get the pencil right, how to put paper on the table when writing, how to sit right while writing), enhancing fine fingers, eye and hand coordination, Strengthening self-esteem, raising attention and concentration, enhancing visual sequence, training the correct form of letters on the pattern, and exercising for correcting coarse-grained and fine-tuning. In this research, the single-subject design was used. The study population consisted of elementary students in Tehran province in the academic year of 96- 1395 who were selected by a researcher-made log book in terms of handwriting problems and trained for 10 sessions. Three data were used to analyze the data, including the base line, during training, and follow-up steps. Each student's score in the base line test, during training, and follow-up is displayed in the form of charts and tables. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that cognitive-motor exercises can be effective in improving the student's handwriting.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the reliability, reliability of the Barkley Executive(BDEFS.CA) Teaching and Performance Inventory (2012) in Mashhad. Method: This study is methodological and psychometric study, and uses IQOLA Standard Contracts to test and test Persian language. . For this purpose, multistage cluster sampling method was used to select 1000 primary school students (6 to 17 years old) in Mashhad in the academic year of 96-97 and 979 students completed the questionnaire. , 63 of them were asked to participate in the test two weeks ago. The reliability of the test was determined using Cronbach's alpha, 0.90. The split coefficient, with the test, was used to calculate the correlation coefficient of this test with the Coolidge test (Zahedi and Alizadeh, 2004) in a sample of 200 people. Results: In the judgmental phase, we conducted several local field studies and non-standard pilot administrations. For the statistical phase, the provided materials. In validity analysis, strong correlations were found among the majority of the scores within the tests; correlations between various (BDEFS.CA) tests were in the range of weak to moderate; the adapted tests show acceptable psychometric properties in assessing the complex, multidimensional construct of executive functioning. For the whole scale of executive functions and sub-components of self-management, self-organizing / problem solving, self-control / inhibition, self-motivation and emotional self-regulation, alpha coefficients are equal to 0.91, 0.85, 0.82, 0.78 , 0.76 and 0.72.

The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program (MBSR) on the self-efficacy and frustration tolerance in parents of physical-motor disabled children. The research had a quasi-experimental method with pre-test and post-test, and a follow-up for experimental and control groups. The statistical population consisted of parents of physical-motor disabled children with records in the Welfare Organization of Pol-e Dokhtar County in 2017. Samples were selected using the convenience sampling method and randomly put into two 16-subject groups namely the experimental and control groups. Training the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program (MBSR) was presented to the experimental group in 8 two-hour sessions per week, but the control group did not receive any training. Both groups were assessed by Dumka's Parenting Self Efficacy Measure (PSAM) and Harrington's Frustration Discomfort Scale (FDS) a week before the first session, a week after the last session, and 30 days later. The results of repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance (RM-MANOVA) indicated that the training program had an effect on the improvement of parenting self-efficacy and frustration tolerance; and the experimental group had a mean higher than the control group at the post-test and follow-up stages (P<0.0001). Findings of the present study provided a clear perspective on the use of new mindfulness treatment in reducing psychological problems and presented a desirable basis for implementing this training program and method in the prevention and investigation of interpersonal problems.
