The Effectivenes of Cognitive Rehabilitation Game of Executive Function and Reading Skills in Students with Dyslexia

Developmental dyslexia is a specific impairment characterized by severe and persistent problems in the acquisition of reading skills; these problems are not caused by mental age, visual acuity problems, or inadequate schooling.The aim of this study effectivenes of aram cognitive rehabilitation game of executive function (sustained attention, response inhibition) and reading skills (speed, accuracy and reading comprehension) in students with dyslexia. The design of the present study was a pretest-posttest experiment with a control group.Analysis of covariance was used to compare the experimental and control groups after the intervention. The statistical population included second to fifth-grade elementary students of Andimeshk, Iran in 2021-2022. In total, 40 subjects were selected by convenience sampling and were randomly divided into two groups of 20 (one test groups and one active control group). Cognitive rehabilitation game was performed for 11 minutes in an individual case for the experiment group. The Continuous Performance Test, Go/No-go test, and the Reading and Dyslexia Test (Nema) were used to collect data. For data analysis, Spss software version 24 and themultivariate statistical analysis test were used. The results showed that cognitive rehabilitation game was effective in improving executive function (sustained attention, response inhibition) and reading skills(speed, accuracy and reading comprehension) in the experimental group at the level (p<0.001). According to the results of the present study, it can be concluded that cognitive rehabilitation Game (ARAM) by increasing the executive function improving the reading skills in Students with dyslexia in students with dyslexia and can be used as a method in treating learning disorders by consultants and experts.
