Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Captain's Log cognitive software on the visual-spatial perception of students with specific learning disorders (SLD). Method: This quasi-experimental research employed a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population consisted of all students with SLDs visiting state and private educational and rehabilitation centers in Tehran in 2016. Twenty-two individuals were selected using convenience sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (12 each). The experimental group was trained with Captain’s Log cognitive training program for 12 sessions, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Before and after the intervention, the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale was used to measure visual-spatial perception. Data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate covariance analysis. Results: The results showed that the effect of Captain's Log cognitive software was 81.1% (p<0.01) on the spatial perception of students, 59.8% (p<0.01) on their visual-spatial perception, and 36.7% (p<0.01) on their non-verbal visual-spatial perception memory. Conclusion: Considering the advantages of the Captain’s Log software on the visual-spatial perception of students, it is recommended that the use of this software be instructed to teachers of students with SLD.
