The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of Fernald's multisensory education on dyslexia, dictation disorder and behavioral adaptations of elementary students with learning disabilities in Ahvaz.

The research method was experimental (pre-test-post-test design with control group). The statistical population in the present study consisted of all primary school students with learning disabilities in the first and second grade of elementary learning centers in Ahvaz in 1398. The sample consisted of 30 students with learning disabilities in the first and second grades of elementary school (15 in experimental group 1 (Fernald multisensory education)) and 15 in the control group who were purposefully selected. After Fernald's multisensory training sessions, dyslexia, dictation disorder and behavioral adaptations were performed on the experimental and control groups.The research instruments included Wechsler (1945) dyslexia questionnaire, dictation test and Lambert et al. Behavioral adaptations questionnaire. (1974) for data analysis, repeated measures analysis of variance and multivariate covariance of Manqua, ANKWA were used.

The results of data analysis showed that Fernald's sensory training reduced dyslexia, dictation disorder and improved behavioral adaptations of elementary students with learning disabilities in the experimental group compared to the control group.

As a result, it can be said that Farnald's multisensory teaching methods reduce dyslexia, dictation disorder and improve behavioral adaptations. Is a learning disability.

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Fernald’s multisensory training and computer game training on dyslexia in primary school students with learning disabilities in Ahvaz.

This study was applied in terms of purpose and in an experimental framework (pre-test-post-test design with control group). The statistical population in the present study consisted of all elementary students with learning disabilities in the first and second grade of elementary learning centers in Ahvaz in 2019. The sample consisted of 45 students with learning disabilities in the first and second grade of elementary school. The research instrument included Wexler (1945) dyslexia questionnaire. Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance and multivariate covariance of Manqua and ANCOA.

The results of data analysis showed that Fernald’s multisensory training reduced dyslexia in elementary students with learning disabilities in the experimental group (1) compared to the control group and training in the use of computer games reduced the dyslexia in elementary students with learning disabilities in the experimental group (2). In comparison with the control group, it was found that there is a difference between the effectiveness of Fernald’ multisensory training and computer game training on dyslexia of elementary students with learning disabilities and Fernald’s multisensory training compared to computer game training in elementary students with dyslexia. Learning disabilities were more effective.

As a result, it can be said that Fernald’s multisensory training methods and computer game training reduce the dyslexia of elementary students with learning disabilities and Fernald’s multisensory training is a more effective method to reduce the dyslexia anger of elementary students with learning disabilities
