Abstract

Introduction: One of the most prevalent disorder in childhood days is a learning disability disorders (LD), which use of effective manner to improve their problems and really is of great importance.  Therefore, in this study, the effects of sensory integration by emphasis on proprioceptive and vestibular senses have been investigated as a treatment approach for improvement problems of psychological nervous function. Materials and Methods: This research was a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test with two experimental and control groups. Out of 6-12-year-old students with specific learning disabilities studying in Semnan in the academic year of 2016-2017, after conducting the Wilkat and colleagues learning diagnostic test (CLDQ), 30 students with special learning disabilities were selected purposefully and randomly replaced in two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received a sensory integration intervention twice a week for 12 sessions of two hours, and the control group did not receive the treatment. The problems of psychiatric nerve function were assessed using Conner;#39s psychological nerve test. Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups of test and control in the performance of the psychological nerve in the post-test (P
