Right-Hemisphere Developmental Learning Disability

The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Queen’s Parenting Program on psychological well-being of pre-school children with neuropsychological/developmental learning disability (NDLD). The population included all pre-school children with (NDLD). To conduct the research, using the stratified random sampling, 40 children with inclusion criteria were selected and then randomly put in the experimental and control groups. To collect data, the Wechsler Pre-school and primary Scale Intelligence (WPPSI) and Behavior Rating Inventory for Executive Function-Pre-school (BREIEF-P) for determining the inclusion criteria and the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) for measuring psychological well-being were used. The results of analyzing data using ANCOVA and MANOVA indicated that psychological wellbeing and its dimensions improved significantly in children of the experimental group in comparison with the control group (p<0.05). Therefore, Queen’s program is effective on the psychological wellbeing of children with pre-school children with neuropsychological/developmental learning disability.

The Right

Learning disability, attentional disorder, and childhood major depression are frequent clinical diagnoses for children who show behavioral disturbances and impaired school performance. We suggest that all three of these conditions may be associated with dysfunction of the right cerebral hemisphere. Anatomical disturbance of right-hemisphere function is often associated with learning disability or attentional deficits. The physiological disturbance of right-hemisphere function by a major depressive episode may produce or exacerbate learning disability or attentional disorder.
