The present study was aimed to compare the efficacy of cognitive rehabilitation with neurofeedback on specific learning disorder (math, reading and spelling) in primary school children in District 5 of Tehran.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br>

Using the Learning Disability Evaluation Scale, 45 patients in three groups were selected as experimental group (15 patients for cognitive rehabilitation and 15 patients for neurofeedback) and control group (15 patients). Then, the interventions were provided to the experimental group and the control group used the usual school training. Pre-test and post-test were taken from both experimental and control groups, after the intervention on the experimental group, the pre-test and post-test results of all three groups were compared with each other. The Learning Disability Evaluation Scale (LDES-R2), developed by McCarney, was used in the study. Multivariate analysis of covariance, with SPSS 22 software was used for data analysis.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br>

And the effect of cognitive rehabilitation approach was greater than the efficacy of neurofeedback (P < 0.001).</span></span></span></span></span></span><br>

Though, in case of specific learning disorders in the children, we would need much more thorough treatments. </span><b> </b><b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"></span></b></span></span></span></span></span></div>
