| Objective: Memory and psychological processes play a vital role in every aspect of learning, and dysfunction slows down many areas of learning. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the educational package of psychological processes based on verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning and academic achievement of elementary students with learning disabilities. Method: The research method was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. In compiling the training package, worksheets were prepared in 25 different areas of psychological processes. In order to determine the effectiveness of the package, 20 second-grade female students who referred to the Center for Disorders in Ghaen and had problems in reading, writing and math were selected and randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group was trained for thirty 45-minute sessions (10 face-to-face sessions and 20 face-to-face sessions). To collect the data, the subscales of verbal comprehension and perceptual reasoning of the fourth edition of the Wechsler Children's Intelligence Scale (Wechsler, 2003) and the researcher-made test of academic achievement (Ghorbanpour, 2020) were used. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance. Results: The results showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the post-test. This means that education could be effective in improving the verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning and academic achievement of students with learning disabilities. Conclusion: According to the research results, paying due attention to the educational strategies of basic psychological processes, as an effective intervention method, can lead to promising results in education and rehabilitation of students with learning disabilities. |
