Abstract

The Sensory Integration Program as an alternative drug approach is an attempt to improve individuals' sensory, motor and cognitive capacities by practicing and providing targeted stimuli to enhance minds' excellent functions. The purpose of the current research is to determine the effect of sensory integration program on non-verbal intelligence, focus attention and academic performance of students with mathematical learning disorder.  The research method was experimental and the research design was pre-test, post-test with a control group. The study sample consisted of 40 male and female students with dyscalculia at the age range of 9-11 in Mianeh city in the academic year of 2017-2018. They were selected through available sampling. The participants were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The instruments used in this study included d2 attention and concentration test, Wechsler's non-verbal intelligence test, and Iran Key math Test. The results showed that the use of sensory integration therapy in experimental group had more effect on non-verbal intelligence skills, focus attention academic performance (P<0.05) students with dyscalculia.
