Abstract

Specific learning disability (SLD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder Students with SLD have a high level of cognitive problems, resulting in their academic failure The aim of this study was the effectiveness of computer-based cognitive rehabilitation on reducing cognitive failure of students in Students SLD This study was semi-experimental with pre-test and post-test. The population included all third grade to sixth female students with learning disabilities in the city of Kermanshah Of them, 28 patients were selected and divided into control and experimental groups. Research Instruments included The Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) of Broadbent, the Colorado Learning Difficulties Questionnaire (CLDQ) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for children- fourth edition. Captain Log's cognitive rehabilitation program at 12 session of 50- 60 minute twice a week for the study group was developed. Covariance analysis indicated that the effectiveness of computer-based cognitive rehabilitation caused reduction in children's cognitive failure (P<0/001). Results of this study showed that computer-based cognitive rehabilitation can be used as a convenient way to help students with learning disorders to reduce their cognitive failure.
