The present research design was semi-experimental based on pre-test and post-test with a control group. The target population was the first and second grade students with math learning disability from Bushehr Learning Disability center, in whom 30 individuals were selected with the purposive sampling method and were placed in two 15 individuals in experiment and control groups. The measurments included Benton's (1974) visual retention test for measuring visual memory, and Chapman (1987) and Edinburgh (1970) questionnaires for measuring brain lateralization. Firstly, the pre-test scores were recorded for both groups. Then, 12 sessions (45 minutes for every session) of easy-mind intervention was performed for experimental group. Finally, the post-test scores of both groups were measured. The findings showed that the EasyMind method has a significant effect on visual memory (p<0.05 and F=5.727) and the brain lateralization (p<0.01 and F=19.698). As a result, teachers of children with math learning disabilities can use the EasyMind method for these students to improve visual memory and the brain lateralization.
