The Impact of the Neuropsychological Rehabilitation Treatment on the Problem-Solving Performance in Patients with Dyslexia Disabilities

Reading problems are from among the most serious problems that children with learning disabilities are faced with. This study is conducted aimed at investigating the impact of the neuropsychological rehabilitation treatment on the problem-solving performance in patients with dyslexia disabilities. This study uses a quasi-experimental design with two groups of subjects. The first group is consisted of 10 people with dyslexia disabilities, and the control group is consisted of 10 individuals, i.e. people with dyslexia disabilities but with no intervention applied to them. Instruments included the neuropsychological rehabilitation program and the tower of London test. The data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 19 and the multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). The data analysis results showed that there was a significant difference (p<0/01) between the mean scores of the pre-test and the post-test of the experimental and control groups; this indicates that the neuropsychological rehabilitation treatment improves problem solving in people with dyslexia disabilities. Considering the positive effects of the current method that favors people with dyslexia disabilities, the results of this study demonstrated that the neuropsychological rehabilitation treatment could be an effective way used in achieving the optimum performance in people with dyslexia disabilities.
