This study used a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest and a control group. Using and convenient sampling method, 30 people (18 males and 12 females) with the age range of 8-12 were selected among all students with learning disabilities in Tehran (2015-2016), and they were equally assigned into two groups (experimental and control). The experimental group received group attributional retraining for 11 sessions of 45 minutes in six weeks while the control group only received the regular education in learning disabilities centers. Before and after the intervention Coopersmith Self-steam Inventory (1967) and Matson Social Skills Inventory (1983) were administered for both groups.
