In this descriptive study with random cluster stratifed sampling, we went to 32 schools and 64 classes for investigating 1802 students. In refering to schools, at first we selected weak students in math with teachers help and then made sure that these students were not border and hadnot serious problems in vision and hearing health and finally tested them with Key Math test. We used descriptive measures for rate of prevalence, t test of inferential measures and Delphi method for finding reduction ways, in second grade, prevalence of disability in concepts area was %0/54, in operations area was %1/09 and in application area was %0/87. In fourth grade, prevalence of disability in concepts area was % 1/34, in operations area was %2/46 and in application area was %1/57. There were not significant difference between boys and girls, between students from city and from village in 2 grades in getting dyscalculia. Delphi method revealed that to reduce dyscalculia we could do these: training educational leaders, putting purposes of math books at the first of next year math book for assessment before starting to teach new things, starting Resource Teacher desing, taking place applied mathematics festival, training teachers about dyscalculia.

Methods: The study sample included all students in learning disabled and normal boys and girls at middle school in the city of Ardabil in the school year 2013/2011. The sample size was 80 people (including 40 regular students and 40 students with disabilities learning) who were selected by multistage random sampling to collect the data, the Raven's Progressive Matrices test, questionnaire and the Kolb Learning Style Inventory Personality Dimensions (NEO-FFI) was used. Method of Cause- a comparison and analysis of the data multivariate analysis of variance was used. The results show that among of normal and with students learning disablity the three components of the personality dimensions of the components of introversion - extroversion, openness to experience, conscientiousness and also in terms of style of learning in all sub-scales there is significant difference between the two groups. The results of this study showed that personality characteristics and also learning how of learning disabled students is different from normal students. Due to these differences, and how the teaching style and personality to match students learning cause that, this group of students and learning materials to better learn the satisfaction that led to the formation of a positive self-concept in learning disabled students and consequently their performance will be positive.

So, 4 students (2 males and 2 females) with dyslexia were selected by available sampling from five LD centers in Tabriz city, and were divided into two groups, each group included one male and one female. The first group received neurofeedback treatment and the second group received Fernald's method. The present study was performed in framework of empirical plan case study using single base line plan. Wechsler IQ test was used before and after treatment to evaluate students. Findings showed that Neurofeedback subjects improved general, verbal and practical IQ scores, but such an improvement was not observed in Fernald subjects.

The population of the study were selected from ammug elementary students in the sixth grade form schools of Ardabil in the (2012-2013) school year.(n=5000). 57 students who had difficulty with mental disabilities were randomly selected. The three groups of acceptance/ commitment training, education, emotion regulation and control were replaced. Acceptance/ commitment training for the first group and the second group was the emotional regulation training of planning education. The control group received no training. To collect the data from the math test key Met was used. For data analysis the method of Multiraviareo analysis of variance (MANOVA) and scheffe post hoc test to compare keymath scale scores minus pre-test - post-test variables were used in the experimental and control groups. The results showed that acceptance/ commitment and emotional regulation training in compared to group controls, significantly improving social adjustment, emotional and educational background were more effective (P<0.01). Conclusions showed of the effectiveness of effectiveness of acceptance/ commitment and emotional regulation training in improving social adjustment, emotional and educational.
