Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the training package enhancement lateral domination over the components of executive functions including: initiation, working memory, planning, organizing and monitoring and visual perception components including: Visual-spatial relationship, visual form-constancy, visual sequential-memory and visual figure-ground of children with specific learning disabilities. The method of the present study was experimental with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. From elementary school children from 7 to 12 years old who were diagnosed with specific learning disabilities in psychology clinics in Tehran in 2020, 30 people were randomly selected and then randomly replaced in two groups of 15 experimental and control. The Edinburgh inventory and Delacato Neurodevelopmental Scale, TVPS-R Visual Perception Test and Brief’s Behavioral Rating Scale of Executive Functions were used to collect data. The results of the analysis of covariance showed that the training package had an effect on executive functions (p <0.01 and F = 8.47) and visual perception (F=10.20 and P<0/01) in children with specific learning disabilities in the experimental group.

Extended Abstract
Introduction
Children with Specific Learning Disorder exhibit symptoms that include problems with understanding or using language (spoken or written) that manifest as difficulties in reading, writing, spelling, or performing mathematical calculations. These difficulties are not due to intellectual disabilities, uncorrected sensory problems (such as poor vision or hearing), inadequate educational instruction, or any cultural or economic disadvantage. Instead, they are intrinsic to the individual and are believed to be due to neurological dysfunction in the brain.
Specific Learning Disorder can have significant impacts on a child's education and daily life, affecting academic achievement and activities that require reading, writing, or arithmetic skills. Additionally, it can impact job performance and daily activities in adults if not adequately addressed during childhood.
The importance of executive functions in academic and daily life activities is well understood in the psychological and educational sciences.
Given the profound impact of executive functions on children with Specific Learning Disorders, this study aims to explore the effectiveness of a training package designed to improve these functions. By focusing on enhancing lateral dominance, which is hypothesized to be linked to improvements in executive functions and visual perception, the study seeks to provide empirical evidence supporting specific intervention strategies that could benefit children diagnosed with Specific Learning Disorders.
Literature
According to the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), Specific Learning Disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a biological origin that manifests itself during the years of formal schooling. It is primarily characterized by persistent difficulties in learning and using academic skills, which are not consistent with the individual's chronological age or the opportunities for learning provided. These difficulties are evident in three main areas: reading, writing, and arithmetic, often referred to collectively as 'the three Rs' (reading, writing, and arithmetic).
Executive Functions include processes such as planning, organization, strategic thinking, attention to detail, and memory management, which are essential for learning and adapting behaviors. A deficit in these areas can severely affect an individual's ability to function effectively in educational, social, and work environments.
Methodology
The study employed an experimental design with a pretest-posttest setup and a control group. The participants were 30 elementary school children between the ages of 7 and 12 who were diagnosed with specific learning disabilities at psychology clinics in Tehran in the year 2020. These children were randomly divided into two groups: 15 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group.
Entry Criteria:
Enrolled in elementary school.
Diagnosed with specific learning disabilities.
No significant neurological or physical health issues aside from specific learning disabilities.
Exit Criteria:
Withdrawal of consent by the children or their parents.
Non-compliance with the training protocols.
Instruments Used:
Edinburgh Handedness Inventory - Used to assess the preferred hand dominance of the participants.
Delacato's Neurodevelopmental Scale - Employed to evaluate sensory integration and neurodevelopmental status.
Test of Visual Perceptual Skills (TVPS-R) - A tool to measure visual-perceptual strengths and weaknesses.
Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) - Used to assess the executive functions of the children, which include behavior regulation, emotion control, and task completion.
Procedure: The study was conducted over a period of three months. The experimental group underwent a specific training program aimed at enhancing lateral dominance, hypothesized to improve executive functions and visual perception. The control group did not receive any specific intervention but continued with their regular school curriculum. Pretests and posttests using the above instruments were administered to both groups to measure any changes in executive functions and visual perception abilities.
Data Analysis: Data were analyzed using ANOVA to compare the pretest and posttest results between the experimental and control groups. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.
Results
The analysis of covariance showed significant improvements in both executive functions and visual perception among children in the experimental group compared to the control group. The findings are as follows:
Executive Functions: There was a significant increase in the scores for executive functions in the experimental group (p < 0.01, F = 8.47), suggesting that the training package effectively enhanced these cognitive abilities.
Visual Perception: Similarly, visual perception scores improved significantly in the experimental group (F = 10.20, p < 0.01). This indicates that the training not only affected cognitive processes related to planning and execution but also improved the children's ability to interpret visual information.
These results confirm the hypothesis that enhancing lateral dominance through specific training can positively impact cognitive abilities that are crucial for academic success in children with specific learning disabilities.
Discussion
The results of this study provide strong support for the effectiveness of the training package aimed at enhancing lateral dominance in improving executive functions and visual perception in children with specific learning disabilities. The significant improvements observed in these areas suggest that targeted interventions can have a marked impact on the cognitive abilities that underpin academic performance and daily functioning.
Executive Functions: The improvement in executive functions is particularly notable because these functions are critical for managing thoughts, emotions, and actions. These skills are essential for academic success, as they involve planning, organizing, and prioritizing tasks, which are often challenging for children with learning disabilities. The training seems to have enhanced the brain's executive control systems, likely by strengthening neural pathways that support cognitive processing.
Visual Perception: The enhancement in visual perception skills indicates that the training may have facilitated better integration of visual information processing. This is crucial for tasks such as reading and mathematical reasoning, where visual layout and spatial understanding play significant roles. Improved visual perception can lead to better academic performance and more effective interaction with the environment.
Theoretical Implications: These findings contribute to the theoretical understanding of how interventions targeting physical and cognitive processes can ameliorate specific cognitive deficits associated with learning disabilities. They support the notion that improving lateral dominance can have broad cognitive benefits, possibly by enhancing the integration of sensory information and executive processing.
Practical Implications: Practically, this study offers a feasible approach for educational and clinical settings to implement interventions that can improve critical cognitive functions in children with learning disabilities. Schools and therapists might consider incorporating similar training programs into their standard practices to aid children with specific learning disabilities.
Limitations and Future Research: Despite the promising findings, the study has limitations that should be addressed in future research. The sample size was relatively small, and the study was confined to a specific geographic area, which may limit the generalizability of the results. Future studies could expand the sample size and include participants from diverse backgrounds to enhance the robustness and applicability of the findings.
Conclusion
The study confirms the effectiveness of a specialized training package designed to enhance lateral dominance in improving the executive functions and visual perception of children with specific learning disabilities. The significant improvements noted in these cognitive areas underscore the potential of tailored interventions to not only enhance the academic performance of these children but also improve their overall daily functioning.
The intervention focused on developing lateral dominance, which appears to have a substantial impact on both executive functions and visual perception abilities. These capabilities are crucial for success in educational settings and for managing everyday tasks efficiently. By strengthening these cognitive skills, the training helped participants become more adept at navigating challenges that arise due to their learning disabilities.
In summary, this study illustrates the value of integrating specific neurodevelopmental approaches into educational strategies for children with learning disabilities. It highlights the importance of targeted cognitive training that addresses specific deficits to optimize learning outcomes. Future research should continue to explore and expand on these findings with larger sample sizes and diverse populations to fully understand the broader applicability and long-term benefits of such interventions.

Extended Abstract
Introduction
One of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders is attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) which is characterized by the inability to pay sustained attention, impulsivity, hyperactivity inhibition, impulse control, internalizing, and externalizing problems, which has become a growing concern globally. Statistics show that this dysfunction affects 3-7% of children. According to the fifth diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder is a chronic and uncoordinated neurodevelopmental mental disorder characterized by hyperactivity, impulsivity, and reduced attention. Among the treatments that are used to reduce the symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder are drug treatments that also have beneficial effects, which are suitable in the short term; but hyperactive children do not achieve an optimal level of attention by taking these drugs; therefore, along with drug treatments, it is necessary to use other treatments. Therefore, considering the many issues and problems that this disorder has caused in children, families and teachers, and considering that this disorder is often diagnosed in school-aged children, in the current research, it was considered necessary to design and validate the improvement model of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder among primary school students in Ardabil city to introduce and categorize a set of factors that can be the foundation and shaper of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and also factors that can be effective in improving and treating this disorder, and the set of factors related to this disorder should be discussed.
Methodology
The aim of the current research is to design and validate the model for improving attention deficit and hyperactivity in primary school students. Due to the fact that the results of this research can be directly used, therefore, the current research was applied in terms of purpose and mixed (qualitative and quantitative) in terms of the nature of the data. In terms of the implementation method, the research was exploratory. The research method in the qualitative part was a semi-structured interview and the implementation of the foundation data method, and in the quantitative part, the structural equation model method was used. The qualitative statistical population of the research was university professors and experts in the field of school counseling and educational sciences of Ardabil province. In this research, to select the sample of the qualitative part of the work, purposive sampling, which is one of the non-probability sampling methods, was used. The sample size of the qualitative part was 15 university professors in the field of school counseling and educational sciences in Ardabil. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. In order to implement the research, a week before the interview, the title and purpose of the research were explained to the professors. Ethical issues in this research include ensuring the informed consent of the participants to participate in the research and recording the content of the interviews, as well as the right to withdraw from the research at all stages of the research. The statistical population in the quantitative section was all primary school teachers in Ardabil city. The total number of primary school teachers in Ardabil city in the academic year 1402-1401 was around 2600 people. Therefore, according to the size of the statistical population and based on Morgan's table, 335 people were selected as the statistical sample size of the quantitative section based on stratified random sampling. In order to analyze the questions in the first stage, the structural codes were collected by three methods of open coding, axial coding and selective coding, and in the second stage, due to checking the fit of the model obtained from the first stage, according to the non-normal distribution of the data using the partial least squares method. PLS and bootstrapping techniques were used in Smart PLS software.
Results
After the qualitative analysis that led to the identification of primary codes, these codes were classified into several categories according to the similarity and authenticity of the data, and finally, the categories were placed in special classes. After continuous analysis and open, central and selective coding, the data were organized in the form of 156 open codes, 146 concepts, 12 categories and 6 classes (causal conditions, central conditions, strategies, intervening conditions, background conditions and consequences). In fact, these data show the criteria for improvement of attention deficit and hyperactivity in primary school students of Ardabil city and a new pattern emerged in this direction.
Discussion
The results of the research show the improvement pattern of attention deficit and hyperactivity in elementary school students of Ardabil city under the categories of personal and psychological characteristics, motor skills, social skills, attention deficit disorder, educational strategies at the individual level, educational strategies at the interpersonal and communication level, pharmaceutical interventions. and nutrition, physiological and behavioral interventions, psychological control, strengthening motor and physical abilities, psychological development and social participation were categorized and fit in terms of validation.
Conclusion
Finally, it is suggested that the results of this research be used as a guide and a general path to improve attention deficit and hyperactivity by specialists in schools and in other centers such as psychological service centers, counseling and psychotherapy clinics, welfare centers, universities, etc. Use existing situations and contexts.

The present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral play therapy on social anxiety and academic self-concept of elementary school students with stuttering. The method in terms of purpose, was an application and information-gathering aspect, was a semi-experimental type of pre-test, and post-test with a control group. The statistical population of this study included all primary school students in Shiraz of which 30 were selected by available sampling. The research tool was the Social Anxiety Questionnaire (LSAS-SR) and the academic self-concept questionnaire was administered to both groups, and the experimental group underwent intervention for 10 one-hour sessions. The collected data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance in SPSS-24. The findings showed that there is a significant difference between the average scores of the compared groups in social anxiety in the post-test, which indicates that the average scores of social anxiety in the experimental group (53.93) compared to the control group (57.06) has significantly decreased. Also, there is a significant difference between the average scores of the compared groups in the academic self-concept in the post-exam, which indicates that the average scores of the academic self-concept in the post-exam in the experimental group (47.66) compared to the control group (43.36) ) has increased significantly. Therefore, the hypothesis of the research based on the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral play therapy on social anxiety and academic self-concept of elementary school students with stuttering is confirmed.

Extended Abstract
Introduction
Stuttering as a communication disorder can lead to serious problems in interpersonal relationships and affect the quality of a person's life. People with stuttering are prone to anxiety and anxiety disorders, especially social anxiety disorder. People with stuttering gradually use avoidance behaviors due to their bitter experiences of stuttering. These behaviors and fears cause refusal of social communication. Social anxiety in childhood and adolescence is associated with problems in cognitive and emotional dimensions and social adaptation. These children have not made much progress in school due to anxiety, they have weak social relationships and have less adaptability than their peers. Lack of academic success causes these students to become discouraged from studying and weaken their morale or drop out. Therefore, these children can have weak self-concepts. Academic self-concept is a form of self-concept that is formed as a result of mutual actions and learning experiences and academic progress, and this shows that academic self-concept is learnable and acquired. Cognitive-behavioral play therapy training leads to the reduction of students' anxiety, tension, shyness and social isolation and increases their health and psychological ability. Therefore, the present study was designed with the aim of determining the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral play therapy on social anxiety and academic self-concept of elementary school students with stuttering.
Methodology
The current research was a semi-experimental study of pre-test-post-test type with a control group. The statistical population of this research was all elementary school students with stuttering referred to speech therapy centers in Shiraz. The study sample was 30 people from the mentioned statistical population who were selected purposefully and available based on the entry and exit criteria and were placed in two experimental and control groups. The data collection tools including the Leibovitz social anxiety scale questionnaire, and academic self-concept scale were implemented in both groups, and the experimental group underwent cognitive-behavioral play therapy intervention for 10 sessions of 60 minutes with the plan suggested by Rivier (2006). And it was placed in a group. The data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance in SPSS-24.
Results
To check the presuppositions of covariance analysis, the results of the Shapiro-Wilk test showed that the data distribution is normal (p < 0.05), in order to check the homogeneity of the error variance of the research variable in the three groups, Levin's test was used, which level the significance of the F statistic was greater than 0.05, and in examining the slope of the regression line and the interaction between the groups and the pre-test of the variables, the results showed that the significance level of F is greater than the critical value of 0.05. The results of the covariance analysis and the table of averages show that the average scores of social anxiety in the post-test in the experimental group (53.93) compared to the control group (57.06) have decreased significantly. Also, the discriminant chi-square analysis indicates that cognitive-behavioral play therapy explains 37% of the variance of social anxiety in children with stuttering. Also, the results of the analysis of covariance showed that there is a significant difference between the average scores of the compared groups of academic self-concept in the post-test [P = 0.001, F = 13.25]. Examining the mean table shows that the mean scores of academic self-concept in the post-test in the experimental group (47.66) compared to the control group (43.26) have increased significantly. Also, the discriminant square root analysis indicates that cognitive-behavioral play therapy explains 32% of the variance of academic self-concept in children with stuttering.
Discussion and Conclusion
The findings of the present study showed that cognitive-behavioral play therapy was effective on social anxiety and academic self-concept of elementary school students with stuttering. In cognitive-behavioral play therapy, the therapist accepts children's behavior unconditionally without surprising them, arguing with them, or pointing out the incorrectness of their work. During these games, the child understands the phenomena, understands the relationships and feels comfortable, and uses it as a tool to establish communication, exchange and test and master the external realities. In a way, it can be said that during this course of cognitive-behavioral play therapy in a safe environment, anxious children test the external reality without fear of evaluation. Academic self-concept is influenced by a person's educational experiences and the interpretation of the educational environment, and it expresses knowledge and perceptions in different academic fields. Stuttering can damage the student's perceptions, attitudes and beliefs about his ability. In cognitive-behavioral play therapy, encouragement is one of the main elements, encouragement helps the child to recognize which of his behaviors are approved by the therapist and which are not appropriate, and also helps the child to feel good about to earn.

The study aimed to compare social isolation and psychological well-being in students with specific and normal learning disabilities. The current research was descriptive and the causal-comparative type of research. The statistical population of the present study included all students with learning disabilities and normal students of Urmia City in the academic year of 2022-2023. A sample of 34 people (17 students with Specific learning disabilities and 17 normal students) were selected for each group using targeted sampling. The group of students with learning disabilities was diagnosed by the teacher and by a specialist in the psychology and education of children with special needs. Social Isolation Assessment Questionnaire of Asher et al., (1984) and Sterling's Children's Well-Being Questionnaire were used to collect data. Analysis of covariance test was used to analyze the data. The results of the research showed that there is a significant difference between the social isolation and mental well-being of students with specific learning disabilities and normal students (P<0.05). Therefore, it can be said that students with specific learning disabilities need to receive effective interventions to improve social isolation and well-being.

Extended Abstract
Introduction
Specific learning disability is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder (McDonough et al., 2017) that includes persistent problems in reading (dyslexia), written expression (dyslexia), or mathematics (Dyscalculia) (Colvin et al., 2022). One of the adverse consequences of this disorder in the social sphere is social isolation (Bruefach & Reynolds, 2022). Social isolation is defined as the objective lack of social relationships or low social contact with others (Wu, 2020) and is often measured in terms of the size of the social network, the diversity of the network or the frequency of contacts (Lim et al., 2022). On the other hand, students with specific learning disorders are at a lower level of Psychological well-being than normal children due to the frequent failures they face at school and at home (Alesi et al., 2014). Psychological well-being allows people to reach their maximum potential by developing virtues, focusing on capabilities and personal growth, and understanding that happiness is achieved through individual self-knowledge (Ryff, 2014).
Literature Review
Studies have shown that compared to normal children, children with special learning disorders have more information-processing defects and are less popular and more rejected (Khasawneh, 2021). In this regard, Brufak and Reynolds (2022) found that students with specific learning disabilities have fewer friends, their friends are less academically ambitious, they feel more incuriosity and hate at school, and they are more likely to avoid friendships. Abbasi (2016) also showed that students with specific learning disorders have problems in starting and maintaining friendships, and these problems may lead to feelings of loneliness, low self-esteem, and other psychological and social defects. Also, Matteucci & Soncini (2021) reported the prevalence of problems related to psychological well-being in students with specific learning disorders more than in normal students. Haft et al. (2019) showed that more psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, interpersonal relationships, and low self-esteem are observed in people with specific learning disorders.
Methodology
The current research was descriptive and the causal-comparative type of research. The statistical population of the present study included all students with learning disabilities and normal students of Urmia City in the academic year of 2022-2023. A sample of 34 people (17 students with Specific learning disabilities and 17 normal students) were selected for each group using targeted sampling. The group of students with learning disabilities was diagnosed by the teacher and by a specialist in the psychology and education of children with special needs. Social Isolation Assessment Questionnaire of Asher et al., (1984) and Sterling's Children's Well-Being Questionnaire were used to collect data. Analysis of covariance test was used to analyze the data.
Results
To answer the question of which of the dependent variables of the research have significant differences in the two groups, univariate analysis of variance was used, which is reported in Table 1.

Social isolation
The results obtained from univariate analysis of variance (Table 1) show that the two groups with specific learning disability and the normal group differ from each other in terms of psychological well-being sub-components (positive emotion, positive attitude and social desirability) as well as social isolation. In general, the results obtained from the following research show that the normal group has more psychological well-being than the specific learning disability group and also experiences less social isolation.
Discussion
In explaining this finding, it can be said that students with specific learning disorders have low social competence due to their weak social skills and problems in getting along with others due to the fear of making mistakes in front of others, or a negative evaluation by others leads to social isolation (Ezzati Babi and Aghajani, 2022). It can also be said that students with specific learning disorders have problems with stability and emotional stability, these people have more intense reactions when facing emotional situations and do not act in the same and stable conditions; also, these people absorb environmental stimuli slower than their peers and act like younger children and always have problems in the field of cognitive and emotional processing deficits (Rezaei Fard et al., 2021). Therefore, this result may be due to the fact that people who use weaker cognitive styles in terms of emotional processing, such as rumination, catastrophizing, and self-blame, are more vulnerable to emotional problems than other people, and as a result, have low psychological well-being.
Conclusion
It can be said that students with specific learning disabilities need to receive effective interventions to improve social isolation and well-being.
