Efficacy of Training Program on Executive Functions in Children with Learning Disability

Abstract

This study seeks to evaluate the efficacy of a Training Program on Executive Functions packaged for benefit of children with learning disabilities. A matched 2-group pre-post crossover interventional design including a suspended treatment phase was employed on a purposive sample of four children diagnosed as learning disability in age range of 11-14 years. An assortment of standard tests and intervention activities validated against the identified executive functions were used through 20 individualized training sessions. Results show statistically significant gains, maintenance and generalization in executive functions even across classroom or academic performance and school settings.
