| Specific learning disorder is among the most common academic challenges in children and can significantly impair cognitive functioning and educational progress. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the computer-based cognitive rehabilitation program “Aram” on improving visual–spatial perception and working memory in students with specific learning disorder. This quasi-experimental study employed a pretest–posttest design with a control group. The statistical population included 9- to 10-year-old boys with specific learning disorder referred to the Derakhshesh Child and Adolescent Counseling Center in Najafabad during the second half of 2024. Thirty participants were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. After sample attrition, data from 27 participants were analyzed. The research instruments included selected subtests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children–Fifth Edition (WISC-V), including Block Design and Visual Puzzles for assessing visual–spatial perception, and Digit Span and Picture Span for evaluating working memory. The experimental group received the Aram computer-based cognitive rehabilitation intervention in 12 sessions of 45 minutes each, while the control group received no intervention. Data were analyzed using multivariate and univariate analyses of covariance. The findings indicated that, after controlling for pretest scores, the intervention significantly improved visual–spatial perception and working memory in the experimental group compared with the control group (p < 0.001). The results suggest that the Aram program can effectively improve cognitive functioning in students with specific learning disorder. | ||
