Learning disorders are the most important issues in educational psychology and require early intervention to prevent their destructive effects. Children with learning disorders are more likely to have emotional problems than their peers. The present study was conducted to provide a qualitative model of emotional problems in children with learning disorders. To achieve this goal, 18 parents of children with learning disorders and 10 specialists in the field of treatment of learning disabilities participated in semi-structured interviews and the interviews were analyzed by thematic analysis. Based on the concepts extracted from the text of the interviews, 71 centralized codes and 15 basic categories were placed under 2 underlying themes (internal and external sources of vulnerability). It seems that since the emotional problems of children with learning disabilities play a major role in their quality of life and education, interventions for these children require comprehensive attention to the context in which they are immediately involved

AbstractThe main of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of motor perception training on math disorder and test anxiety in primary school students with learning disabilities in Tehran. The present study was a quasi-experimental study including a pretest-posttest design with a control group. 40 qualified students with learning disabilities who referred to learning disabilities centers between years 1397-1398 in Tehran were selected through available and purposeful sampling methods and were assigned in motor perceptual experimental group (n=20) and the control group (n=20). The follow-up stage was also performed one month after the test. To complete the data, IQ test questionnaires (Wechsler, 2003), math learning disorder (Conley, 1988) and standard test anxiety questionnaire (Sarason, 1957) were used. SPSS software was used to analyze the data. Findings of the statistical tests of multivariate analysis of covariance in the groups of motor perception and control training in the post-test and follow-up stages show that these groups are significantly different from each other in at least one of the dependent variables. Thus, in both of these stages, there is a significant difference in the variables of math disorder and test anxiety between the groups of motor perception training and control indicating the continuation of the effect of motor perception training in the experimental group. Therefore, it can be concluded that motor perception training is used to reduce math disorders and test anxiety in students.

This study was aimed to examine effectiveness Mindfulness training on planning and cognitive flexibility of students with Learning Disability. This study was semi-experimental pre-test, post-test and follow-up with control and experimental group. The statistical population consisted of 202 third- to fifth-grade primary students with all kinds of learning disabilities who had been referred by the schools to the Center for Learning Disabilities of Bushehr province’s Department of Education. Of these, using convenience sampling and considering the requirements of the research project, 52 students were short-listed in the first stage, and of these, 40 students were selected and assigned to an experimental group and a control group (each group 20 students). The measurement tools consisted of Tower of London Test and The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test. The experimental group experienced the Mindfulness training group therapy in 8 sessions of 60 minutes once week and the control group did not receive any treatment. For statistical data analysis, variance analysis with repeated measures was used. Findings showed that Mindfulness training has a significant effect on planning and flexibility of students with Learning Disability and this effect remains unchanged in the two-month follow-up phase. Finally, we may conclude that Mindfulness training, as an effective and functional intervention, could be used to improve planning and flexibility of students with Learning Disability.
