A comparison of neurofeedback and Fernald's method effectiveness in Improving the Intelligence of Children with dyslexia (case study)

The goal of this study was to compare the neurofeedback and the Fernald's methods effectiveness in Improving the Intelligence of Children with dyslexia. So, 4 students (2 males and 2 females) with dyslexia were selected by available sampling from five LD centers in Tabriz city, and were divided into two groups, each group included one male and one female. The first group received neurofeedback treatment and the second group received Fernald's method. The present study was performed in framework of empirical plan case study using single base line plan. Wechsler IQ test was used before and after treatment to evaluate students. Findings showed that Neurofeedback subjects improved general, verbal and practical IQ scores, but such an improvement was not observed in Fernald subjects. In this investigation, neurofeedback treatment was in sensorymotor area, which helps the cerebral cortex to code Physical and cognitive duties.
