We predicted that Arabic-speaking children with specific learning disabilities in reading (dyslexia) and spelling (in writing) benefit from a visuomotor-based intervention programme for the development of letter knowledge and the improvement of word and pseudo-word decoding as well as spelling (dictation). It was predicted that the mediation of visuomotor training should be effective since the characteristics of Arabic script require such high-level functioning for the development of literacy skills. Participants (n = 20) were randomly divided in two groups, an experimental group (n = 10; mean age =125.50 months ± 3.24) and a control group (n = 10; mean age = 124.10 months ± 3.31). Results revealed that the post-intervention measures were better achieved in the experimental group than pre-intervention ones, which confirms the efficacy of this visuomotor intervention programme.

基于视觉运动干预的阅读和拼写障碍儿童的疗效：一项初步研究

我们预测说，在阅读（阅读困难）和拼写（书面）中有特定学习障碍的说阿拉伯语的儿童将受益于基于视觉运动的干预计划，以发展字母知识，改善单词和伪单词的解码以及拼写（听写）。可以预见，视听运动训练的调解应该是有效的，因为阿拉伯文字的特征需要这种高级功能来发展识字能力。参与者（n = 20）随机分为两组，实验组（n = 10；平均年龄= 125.50个月±3.24）和对照组（n = 10；平均年龄= 124.10个月±3.31）。结果显示，实验组的干预后措施要比干预前的措施更好，
