Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of integrating Sensory Integration method and direct reading comprehension training on promoting the working memory and attention span in students with dyslexia in Boukan. The research method was semi-experimental, with a pre-test, post-test and a control group. The statistical population consisted of all 8-12-year-old students with dyslexia, from which 30 students were selected and randomly assigned into two experimental and control groups, 15 subjects in each. The research tools included the children's Wechsler Intelligence Scale-the fourth edition and the Continuous Performance test. A combination of sensory integration method and direct comprehension training was taught to the experimental group for ten 40-minute sessions and the results of the analysis were analyzed using covariance analysis. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the two experimental and control groups in increasing the active memory and the range of attention of dyslexic students (P ≤ 0.01). Therefore, the program of integrating Sensory Integration method and direct reading comprehension training will enhance the active memory and the range of attention of dyslexic students.
