Abstract

 
The purpose of the present study is to compare various perception errors
in children with and without learning disabilities. The statistical population
include salls tudents inspecial schools for learning disabilities in Bukan
through the academic year 2012-2013. The sample in cluded 45 elementary
school students with learning disabilities (15 students with dyslexia, 15
students with writing dyslexia and 15 students with a ccount deficient) and
15 normal students selected through multi-stage cluster sampling method.
Fordata collection, perceptual error of Muller-layertests, horizontal–vertical
tests and image rejection tests wereused. The research method was Cause-
Comparative. The data were analyzed using multi variate analysis of
variance. Results showed that perceptual errors in students with learning
disability were sign ificantly more compared to normal students. Research
findings suggest that students with learning disabilities have difficulties in
perception abilities, so educational and therapeutic programs which are
believed to be effective on perception capabilities of students with learning
disabilities are particularly important.
