Introduction: Play therapy is effective in improving the cognitive problems of children with learning disabilities.
Aim: The objective of this study is to examine effectiveness of cognitive games (games based on executive functioning) on the cognitive flexibility of the students with dyscalculia.
Method: In this study which we have used the pre-test, post-test quasi-experimental design / plan with control group, 20 students with dyscalculia who were selected through purposive sampling, were randomly divided into control and experimental groups (each group n=10). Wisconsin executive function test has used to assess cognitive flexibility performance. The data resulting from the study has analyzed by MANCOVA.
Results: The finding have shown that experimental group compared to control group have significant difference in the results of the test after participating in the intervention.
Conclusion: Cognitive games can improve the cognitive dysfunction of children with math disorders.
