The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of movement therapy on visual-motor errors of students with special learning disabilities in schools in Tehran. This research was conducted in the form of a quasi-experimental study with a control group and within the framework of a pre-test and post-test design for both experimental and control groups. The sample group consisted of 30 male students with special learning disabilities living in Tehran who were selected by cluster random sampling and then randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups, 15 in each group. The rate of visual-motor errors of the participants in this study was measured by the visual-motor test of Gestalt port in pre-test and post-test. Movement therapy program intervention was performed on the experimental group for 12 sessions of 90 minutes three days a week. After the end of the movement therapy program, the post-test was performed for both groups. The results of analysis of covariance showed that the rate of visual-motor errors in the experimental group decreased significantly at the confidence level (P <0.05). Therefore, it can be said that movement therapy can reduce the rate of visual-motor errors in students with special learning disabilities.

The present study aimed to evaluate the educational requirements with appropriate training for teachers working in exceptional education in the city of Tabriz and evaluation of its effects in the implementation. The research method was experimental with pre-test and post-test design with control group. The study population included teachers working in exceptional education in Tabriz. Using random sampling of multi-stage clusters, 20 teachers were selected and placed in two experimental and control groups. The tools for collecting information were the requirements Assessment Questionnaire of Yemeni et al. (2011) and the Behrangi Teaching Research Assessment Questionnaire (2015). Data analysis using pairwise t-method showed that the educational management model has an effect on the reduction of educational requirements of developmental, supplementary and problem solving of exceptional school teachers (P <0.05). The educational management model effects on teachers' attitudes (P <0.05). Therefore, it is better to include an educational management model in the curriculum of the exceptional school teacher training course to make teachers more familiar with it.
