The purpose of this study was to investigate the applicability of the theory of PASS in predicting the mathematics performance of students with specific learning disorders (SLD) in Isfahan, Iran. Method: This research was descriptive and correlational. The sample comprised 36 students with SLD selected by multistage sampling. The research instrument was Iran Key Math Test, Raven's Progressive Matrices, a teacher-made mathematics test, and the Cognitive Assessment System, Second Edition. Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis. Result: The results demonstrated that the performance of children with mathematics disorder is associated with an incomplete function in planning, attention, and successive and simultaneous processing. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that students' mathematics performance depends on PASS cognitive processes which can help specialists in identifying children at risk of this disorder. %> http://joec.ir/article-1-690-en.pdf %P 65-76 %& 65 %! %9 Research %L A-10-85-2 %+ %G eng %@ 1682-6612 %[ 2019
