The objective of the current study was to investigate the efficacy of cognitive-motor rehabilitation in improving the reading speed and cognitive flexibility of children with disability during the reading learning process. The study was quasi-experimental in nature, utilizing a control group, pretest, and posttest design. A two-month follow-up period was implemented. The statistical population of the survey consisted of second- to fourth-grade children with learning disabilities in reading in district 6 of Tehran during the academic year 2021-2022. The purposive sampling method was employed to select thirty-seven children with learning literacy disabilities (23 boys and 14 girls). These children were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Twelve cognitive-motor rehabilitation sessions were administered to the experimental group over the course of six weeks. In this investigation, the Persian Reading Ability Test (PRAT) and the Tower of London Procedure (TLP) were implemented. The data that was collected were subjected to a mixed ANOVA and a post hoc Bonferroni test using SPSS23 software. The findings indicated that cognitive-motor rehabilitation has a highly significant impact on reading speed (p<0001) and cognitive flexibility (p<0001) of children with reading learning disability. Based on the findings of this study, it can be inferred that cognitive-motor rehabilitation is a viable approach for enhancing the cognitive flexibility and reading speed of children with learning disabilities in reading by employing influencing cortex and applying purposeful cognitive-motor exercises.
