Design, Development, and Analysis of Validity for a Computer-Based Cognitive Rehabilitation (Cbcr) Program for Children with Specific Learning Disorder (Sld) - Dyslexia: A Design-Based Approach

Abstract

Abstract Introduction: Dyslexia is a common learning disorder that can make reading difficult. Poor cognition is one of the most important categories of learning disorders.Objective: This study intends to develop a computer-based cognitive rehabilitation program for children with dyslexia-related special learning issues to improve their cognitive and educational skills.Methods: The current research is a sort of developmental research that intends to construct a computer-based cognitive rehabilitation program, identify its components, and descriptively assess its content validity utilizing the theoretical foundation of the issue, an analysis of previously developed rehabilitation programs, and a review of related research. The study's major three steps were background research, program development, and expert validation evaluation.Results: In the qualitative part of the research, expert comments and opinions were used to improve the developed program, and content validity was established at the quantitative level by valuing the package components. This study's relative content validity coefficient was 0.74, with content validity values of 0.93, 0.97, and 0.94 for simplicity, clarity, and relevance, respectively.Conclusion: According to the expert's opinion, computer-based cognitive rehabilitation programs should be valid both in terms of the theoretical model of intervention and the content of the sessions.
