        AbstractThe aim of the research was to compare the effectiveness of the educational program based on the response to the intervention and the sensory-motor integration intervention on the cognitive language and academic performance of students with learning disabilities. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group and a follow-up period. The statistical population was students who referred to the Learning Disorders Center affiliated to Semnan Education Department in the academic year 2021-2022 due to learning disabilities . 45 students were selected by purposeful sampling and randomly replaced in three groups of 15 people (two experimental groups and one control group). The experimental groups were subjected to intervention for 8 sessions of 60 minutes. The control group did not receive any intervention. The follow-up period was done after 3 months. Newcomer and Hamill's (1997) language development questionnaire was used to measure the average of monthly reports to measure academic performance. The data was analyzed using the mixed two-factor ANOVA method by SPSS-26 software. The findings showed that there is a significant difference in the linguistic score and academic performance between the experimental and control groups (P&lt;0.05). Based on the results, both interventions were effective and had a stable effect, but training based on the response to the intervention was more effective on the research variables. Therefore, it can be concluded that the educational intervention based on the response to the intervention and the sensory-motor integration intervention can be used as a beneficial intervention to help students with learning disabilities as they can improve linguistic and academic performance in elementary schools and centers for learning problems.

        &nbsp; Dyslexia is a disorder that affects reading and spelling, but in fact, poor spelling is often described as the hallmark of dyslexia. Unfortunately, researchers have focused mainly on reading interventions and equal emphasis on timely interventions on spelling has been neglected. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a multi-component spelling instruction in 4 students with specific learning disorder in spelling in an ABA design. Intervention was presented in 12 sessions and data were analyzed using visual analysis and quantitative methods by R software. Non-overlap of all pair's analysis (NAP) confirmed a significant increase in the spelling performance of 4 participants compared to baseline. In addition, findings did not show a significant reduction in participants' performance between the intervention phase and the maintenance phase (A2). Findings of this study seem promising to provide a multicomponent approach to treatment of multi-component deficits in specific learning disorders. &nbsp; &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Abstract The main purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of family life education (FLE) on tension reduction of mothers with learning disorder (LD) children in reading and writing. To obtain the necessary research data, the pre-test and post-test experimental design with control group was adopted. To this end, 60 out of 154 mothers with LD children in reading and writing, whose disorder was confirmed by LD centers in Rasht city, were randomly selected. All mothers answered 33 questions about parental tension under four subcomponents of depression, feeling of competence, social isolation and parental health, related to parental stress index (PSI), the dependent variable, before and after applying FLE. To analyze the data and compare the two groups, the t-student parametric test was used. The results show that mothers&rsquo; characteristics resulting from increasing parental tension can be changed through FLE model and programs. This means that increasing these mothers&rsquo; child rearing skills, on the one hand, and changing their perception toward LD children on the other hand can reduce their tension, depression, and social loneliness and enhance their sense of efficiency and health.
