Sponsor's own description

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.
