The effectiveness of a program based on the multisensory approach in improving the working memory of students with learning disabilities

Abstract

The aims of the current research are to reveal the effectiveness of a training program based on the Approach Multisensory and work on improving the working memory of children with learning difficulties, and as well as verifying the size of the effect, The researchers used the experimental approach, with a pre- and post-measurement of the experimental group.

The sample consisted of (8) male and female students from the basic stage. The researchers built a training program based on the multi-sensory approach consisting of (30) sessions. The working memory test was also used, and its validity and reliability were verified. Also, the coefficient of difficulty, ease, and distinction of the test items was verified. The results revealed that there are statistically significant differences at the level of significance (0.05) between the calculated values of the average scores of the experimental group members in improving working memory for the) three components) and in favor of the post-test with an effect size of (0.67). In the light of the research results, a number of recommendations and proposals emerged from this research.
