Abstract

 Background & Objective: Specific Learning Disorder is the disruption of one or more basic psychological processes, which creates problems in understanding or applying spoken or written language and emerges in the form of incomplete listening, thinking, speaking, reading, writing, spelling or mathematical calculations. Many social and emotional problems are observed in students with Specific Learning Disorder at schools. One of the factors contributing to the increase in this issue is the lack of Social Self-Empowerment in these children. Also, Alexithymia is another problem of these students. Therefore, finding a way to enable children to express their emotions in a way other than verbal expression and increase their social capabilities is absolutely necessary. In this regard, game is a means by the aid of which the child expresses himself/herself and it is an appropriate means for release of emotions and self-expression for every child. Therefore, the aim of the present study was exploring the effect of Play Therapy on Social Self-Empowerment and Alexithymia in female students with Specific Learning Disorder. Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental study of pretest-posttest design with control group. Play Therapy was implemented only on the experimental group and its effects on the posttest scores of the experimental group was compared to the control group. The statistical population of the study consisted of all sixth-grade female students with Specific Learning Disorder in Baharestan county during the school year of 2017-2018 and 30 individuals (15 experimental, 15 control) were selected randomly using convenience sampling and were assigned into two groups of experimental and control. The research instruments included the Parandin Social Self-Empowerment Questionnaire (2006), Bagby et al. ’ s Alexithymia Scale (1994) and ten 60-minute sessions of training Asadi and Asadbeigi’ s Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy (2017). Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 22 and multivariate analysis of covariance test. Results: The mean and standard deviation of the Social Self-Empowerment of the experimental group were 260. 07± 29. 247 before the intervention, and 326. 88± 25. 362 after the intervention. The mean and standard deviation of Alexithymia score in the experimental group was equal to 90. 56± 5. 672 before the intervention and 65. 06± 4. 238 after the intervention. Also, the size of the effect of Social Self-Empowerment score was 0. 508 (p<0. 01) and the size of the effect of Alexithymia was 0. 416 (p<0. 01). Also, the results showed that there was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest means of Social Self-Empowerment scores and Alexithymia in the experimental group (p<0. 01), but these changes were not significant in the control group. Conclusion: The results showed that Play Therapy is effective in increasing Social Self-Empowerment and its components and decreasing Alexithymia in female students with Specific Learning Disorder. Therefore, it is recommended that, along with other therapeutic methods, Play Therapy be used to increase Social Self-Empowerment and to treat of Alexithymia symptoms in students with Specific Learning Disorder. Finally, it is necessary to use cognitive-behavioral group therapy education as an effective educational intervention in support of students with Specific Learning Disorder.
