The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of two storytelling methods through visualization and pantomime on the emotional and behavioral disorders of students with hearing problems.

The statistical population of the present study includes all deaf female students aged 14-17 years old in the 20th district of Tehran who were studying in 2001-1401 in a purposeful and available sample size of 24 people and randomly divided into three groups. (8 people in the group under storytelling training through visualization, 8 people in the group under storytelling training with pantomime and 8 people in the control group) were replaced. In order to collect the research, Achenbach's emotional-behavioral child inventory (1999) was used. The obtained results were analyzed using SPSS22 software and multivariate analysis of covariance statistical test.

Data analysis showed that storytelling through pantomime is effective in reducing law-breaking behaviors and storytelling through visualization and pantomime is equally effective in reducing aggressive behaviors.
