Abstract

Objective: This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of a combined program based on strengthening psychological functions and education with the TIBA approach on the reading of dyslexic students.
Methods: The design of the present study was a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test with a control group. The statistical population of the study included all dyslexic students in the second grade of primary school in Mehrdasht district of Isfahan province in the academic year of 2021-2022. The research sample included 30 dyslexic students who were selected using a multi-stage and accessible sampling method and were placed in two groups of 15 people, experimental and control. And the consolidated program was conducted on the experimental group during 30 sessions of 60 minutes. To collect data, subtests of (WISC-V), reading and dyslexia test (NEMA) were used. For data analysis univariate and multivariate covariance analysis were used.
Results: The results showed that the integrated program based on strengthening psychological functions and education with the TIBA approach has been effective in improving reading in dyslexic students (P>0.01). Also, this program, has been effective in strengthening psychological functions (Active memory and speed of information processing) of students (P>0.01).
Conclusions: According to the results of the present study, it can be concluded that the integrated program based on the strengthening of psychological functions and education with the TIBA approach improves the process of recalling and recognizing words from the vocabulary and the ability to analyze words and has an impact on the reading fluency in Students with dyslexia.
