Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of cognitive (cognitive skills training) and developmentalintervention (sensory-perceptual skills training) on performance and reading ability of dyslexic students. In thestudy 60 dyslexic students participated and they were divided into three experimental groups including 20students as the first experimental group (E1), 20 students as the second experimental group (E2), and 20 studentsas the control group (C). The effectiveness of the 16-session intervention for both E1 and E2 groups wasmeasured by Reading and Dyslexic test (RTD) as screening test at the beginning and followed by the BenderVisual Motor Gestalt Test (BVMGT) and Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure test (ROCF). The results wereanalyzed by using analysis of variance (ANOVA) to compare mean scores among the three dyslexic groups afterintervention. Findings suggest that developmental intervention significantly improves RDT, BVMGT andmemory scale of ROCF performance of dyslexic students. However, cognitive intervention does not appear tosignificantly increase performance of the students compared to the control group.
