Dyslexia is an unpredictable neurological problem. One of the language components for dyslexics is the use of compensatory strategies. Although the use of phonological methods to improve reading is very common among Persian language researchers, compensatory strategies in the Persian language have not received much attention. Therefore, examining and applying these language strategies in the Persian language is one of the necessities of designing improvement methods for dyslexics, which few studies have addressed.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of using cognitive compensatory strategies based on special processing of dyslexia on text comprehension, reading accuracy, and speed in Persian-speaking children.

The method of the present research is a pre-test-post-test type experiment. The statistical population was all the second-grade students of the dyslexic primary school in Semnan, from which a sample was selected using a random cluster method. A total of 31 people were selected for the sample. The research tools were the Frostig Visual Perception Test (Frostig, 1996), Shirazi and Nilipour's reading test (2010), and the researcher's test. The provided training protocol was (Clark Wellion, 2011). For data analysis, a covariance analysis test was used in spss software.

Examining the covariance of visual perception levels (high-medium) on the post-test scores of the group trained in the compensatory method shows that the effect of visual perception is effective in reducing reading errors and also the length of reading time according to a significance level lower than 0.05.

According to the findings of this research, it can be concluded that the use of compensatory and phonological methods together can help to improve the accuracy, speed, and comprehension of dyslexic texts; Therefore, to improve reading components in dyslexics, different cognitive abilities and compensatory strategies used in them should be known and used.

Parental self-efficacy as an important factor in reducing children's educational and personality disorders is influenced by various factors, among them are parenting styles. So far, no study has been conducted on the effect of parenting training based on self-determination theory on the self-efficacy of parents.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the parenting training package based on the self-determination theory on parenting self-efficacy.

The present research is based on quantitative and qualitative data type, prospective in terms of time and an exploratory mixed research regarding the aim. First, a parenting training package based on the theory of self-determination was compiled and after confirming validity and reliability by experts, in order to investigate its impact on parenting self-efficacy, 40 parents with a children aged 7 to 11 years in Damavand city were selected by purposive sampling, divided into two groups, experimental and control, and completed the parenting self-efficacy scale (Domka, 1996) in the pre-test and post-test stages.

The results of the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) showed that the F value (P< 0.01,
F= 14.21) for the effect of the independent variable (group) on the parenting self-efficacy score was statistically significant and the parenting self-efficacy of mothers who underwent the intervention was more than the parents of the control group and the effect size is 33%.

In line with past research, it was found that the use of self-determination in parenting improves the self-efficacy of parents in regard to raising children properly, and Domka self-efficacy questionnaire can be used in family studies.
