Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of LEGO therapy on the cognitive functions in students with learning disability.
Method: The research employed a semi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. The statistical population consisted of male students with learning disability from District 5 of Mashhad during the 2023–2024 academic year. Among them, 30 students were selected using convenience sampling and assigned to experimental and control groups of 15 each. The experimental group received 10 sessions of LEGO therapy. Data were collected using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (Nasreddine et al., 2005), and data analysis was conducted using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) via SPSS-26 software.
Results: Findings indicated that LEGO therapy significantly impacted the cognitive functions of students with learning disability (p<0.01). Additionally, ANCOVA results showed a significant improvement in the cognitive functions of the experimental group compared to the control group.
Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that creative interventions such as LEGO therapy can serve as an effective approach to enhance cognitive functions. This method improved performance in various cognitive domains in students with learning disability. Therefore, LEGO therapy can be considered an effective and innovative intervention for improving cognitive functions in this student population.
