Review on Efficacy of Occupational Performance: Children with Specific Learning Disorder

Azad Sharif

A neurodevelopmental disorder known as Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) is characterized by decreased academic ability during the early elementary school years and is two to three times more prevalent in boys than in girls. The intelligence of children with SLD is normal (IQ > 70); but have trouble reading, writing, speaking, or performing executive functions. SLD is reported to affect.58–7 percent of school-age children in Iran and 5–15% in other nations. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V), the degree of participation in occupational performance areas, particularly activities outside of school, is a measure of SLD severity. Activities outside of school include play, leisure, social participation, basic daily activities (BADL), instrumental daily activities (IADL), education (other than academic functions), work, and sleep/rest.
