Brief Summary:
In recent years significant progress has been made on ways to improve Executive Functions EF skills for school readiness involving direct EF training and classroom educational programs Due to the absence of a well-structured Arabic program for EF training in children the rationale of this study is to implement a comprehensive evidence-based intervention program to help Egyptian children with learning disorders to overcome their EF impairment It uses the multimodality approach to help meet the needs of students with a variety of learning styles The aim of this study is to adapt the combined form of the Executive Functions Training-Elementary and the Promoting Executive Function In The Classroom programs and its application in order to test its effectiveness in the rehabilitation of Egyptian learning disordered children
Detailed Description:
The study was conducted on 40 children with dyslexia and Executive dysfunction attending unit of phoniatrics Otorhinolaryngology department Alexandria University The results were compared before and after intervention
The Executive Functions Training-Elementary program is an evidence-based practice that targets Executive function skills in the early elementary years by training students how to plan execute complete and monitor tasks It develops cognitive abilities and behavior control with classroom-related activities for varying ability levels
The Promoting Executive Function In The Classroom program helps to incorporate Executive function processes such as planning organization prioritizing and self-checking into the classroom curriculum Chapters provide effective strategies for learning by improving how to learn
Data were collected and entered to the computer using Statistical Package for Social Science program for statistical analysis version 21
Data were entered as numerical or categorical as appropriate Kolmogorov-Smirnov test of normality revealed no significance in the distribution of the variables so the parametric statistics was adopted
Data were described using minimum maximum mean standard deviation and 95 Confidence Interval of the mean
Categorical variables were described using frequency and percentage Comparisons were carried out between two studied dependent normally distributed variables using paired t-test
Comparisons were carried out between more than two independent normally distributed subgroups using one-way Analysis Of Variance ANOVA test When F ratio of ANOVA was significant Levene test of homogeneity of variances was done and if significant Brown-Forsythe Robust test was adopted Post-hoc multiple comparisons was done using Games-Howell
