Learning disorder the background of social disorder; A Study of the Effectiveness of Perceptual-Motor Exercises on Visual-Spatial Processing and Dictation Function in Second Grade Elementary School Girls with Learning Disabilities in Tabriz

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of perceptual-motor exercises on visual-spatial processing and dictation performance in second grade elementary school girls with learning disabilities in Tabriz. The present research method is quasi-experimental in which a pre-test-post-test research design with a control group was used. The statistical population included all female second grade elementary school students with learning disabilities in Tabriz. The statistical sample of the present study was 20 students using the available sampling method and randomly replaced in the experimental and control groups. Perceptual-motor interventions were performed in 10 sessions for the experimental group, 2 sessions of 45 minutes per week. The tools used included the educational package of exceptional education in the country called timely intervention for education and rehabilitation of new students with general learning problems and Wechsler 4 test and diagnostic reading test of Sima Shirazi and Nilipour. Research data were analyzed by analysis of covariance. Data analysis was performed using software (SPSS). The results of the post-test intergroup effects test by removing the pre-test effect show that between the means of the experimental and control groups in the components of symbolization (P <0.05, F = 2.545) and encryption (P> 0.05). , F = 1.280) and line drawing (P> 0.05, F = 2.787) and cube design (P> 0.05, F = 0.857) there is no significant difference. The effect size calculated in dictation (P = 0.510) indicates the high effect of perceptual-motor exercises.
