The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of neuro linguistic programming strategies training on emotional intelligence, achievement motivation and academic self-concept. This study was experimental pre-test, post-test with the control group design. The statistical population of this study consisted of all female fifth grade elemantary school students in Izeh city in the academic year of 2020-2021. Then 30 people with learning disabilities were selected through random multi stage cluster sampling and were assigned randomly to experimental and control groups. The instruments used in this study were emotional intelligence (Petrides & Furnham, 2001) achievement motivation (Hermance, 1977) and academic self-concept (Liu & Wang, 2005). The experimental group received neuro linguistic programming strategies training for ten 60-minutes sessions, one sessions in a week lasting for two month. Analysis of the data was done using descriptive (average & standard deviation) and inferential (multiple covariance analysis) tests. Experimental group showed significant increase in achievement motivation and academic self-concept after being trained, But no significant effect was observed on emotional intelligence. Based on the result we can say that neuro linguistic programming strategies training is an important method in improving of achievement motivation and academic self-concept students with learning disability.

The present study aims to investigate the effect of cognitive training on the working memory, and processing speed in children with learning disabilities. Besides working memory and processing speed, it is effect on academic performance was also examined. It was an experimental research with two groups and pretest-posttest. The research population in the present was all male and female students in the third, fourth and fifth grades of primary school. That referred to special learning centers of Tehran. Among these student, 20 students were selected randomly, 10 students were placed in each of experimental and control group. Then, the cognitive training was administered for experimental group in 10 one-hour sessions. The student assessed before and after the intervention, using digit span, coding, search symbols and visual memory. The pretest and post test data obtained were analyzed using covariance analysis. The results show that the effect of cognitive training, on the speed of information processing and verbal working memory and visual-spatial working memory has been significant. This training has not been considerably effective on academic performance of student with learning disabilities.

The aim of the present research was to determine the rate of prevalence and diversity of specific learning disabilities in students of third and fourth grade of primary school. In this research we used one questionnaire and four checklists. Rater’s behavior disorders questionnaire administered for screening of students with behavior disorders.Four checklists inclusive of Myklebust’s learning disabilities checklist, Reading learning disability checklist, Mathematics learning disability checklist and Writing learning disability checklist were administered to determine the rate of prevalence of learning disabilities. The sample consisted of 446 students (231boys and 215 girls) from third and fourth grade of primary schools of four regions of Shiraz department of education that were selected by clustering random sampling method. After screening of students with behavior disorders 401 students (200boys and 201girls) remain for statistical calculation. The results showed that out of 401 students 39 students identified as learning disability; this is 9.7 percent of total sample. Also out of 401 students 35 students identified as reading learning disability, this is 8.7 percent of total sample. Another results indicated that out of 401 students 27 students identified as mathematics learning disability, this is 6.7 percent of total sample. Also out of 401 students 29 students identified as writing learning disability, this is 7.2 percent of total sample. The result of Cronbach’s coefficient alpha, test-retest reliability and Pearson’s correlation coefficient proved the reliability and validity of checklists that administered in this research. In this article we discussed about results and limitation and offered suggestions for future studies
