Methods: Articles and materials were studies by searching some relevant terms such as precision teaching, evidence-based methods/intervention, best practices, and learning disability/disorder. In addition, some domestic studies were extensively reviewed. Rsults: Results indicated that effective interventions in the area of reading difficulties were found in the context of behavioral paradigm. One of the prevalent procedure was PT that has much commonalities with "response to intervention". PT has some exclusive features such as continuous assessment of student performance, recording and presentation of student performance on a chart, and making educational, and academic decisions based on the performance of students which makes this method more effective for students w...

Current study aimed to identify the effectiveness of the group cognitivebehavioral training on physiological indicators and communication skills of the hospital staff. Method: This was a semi-experimental study using pre-test-post-test design. The sample group consisted of 32 people (16 experimental and 16 control groups) in one of the randomly selected Tehran hospitals. Intervention program was conducted weekly in 4 sessions each 4 hours on the subjects of the experimental group. Data were collected using Physiological Reactions to Stress (PRS) and Communication Skills Test-Revised (CSTR) before and after the intervention from both groups and was analyzed by analysis of covariance using SPSS software (v. 19). Results: The results showed that the cognitive-behavioral training significantly increased the mean...

But recent views about hearing impaired people focuses on positive psychology, mental health issues, and their ability and competence to manage their independent living, which all are linked to the concept of resilience. This study provided an overview of resilience in the hearing impaired. Material and Methods: In order to review the concept of resilience in the hearing impaired patients, we used PubMed, Elsevier, ProQuest and Google scholar database and text books in the field of hearing impairment between years of 1979 to 2013, Using “resilience”, “hearing impairment” and “deaf” as keywords. Results: Resilience is a dynamic process in human development which is interaction with one’s personality and environmental factors. This process is not a fixed feature and can change and be improved...
