Data collection tools were Wechsler intelligence test, view test, and checklists for reading problems. Experimental group participated in 8 sessions during 4 weeks and were exposed to self-reinforcement therapy intervention. The data were analyzed by Covariance Analysis. The results showed a significant effect in the remission of vocal removal disorder (P>0.001) with effect size of 0.98 and in the improvement of word chain disorder (P>0.001) with effect size of 0.95 in the experimental group compared with the control group.
