The purpose of this article is to analyze the status of computer games with a linguistic approach in making schools smart for the students suffering from learning disorders with a focus on reading disorder. The authors will try to adopt an approach based on research and development and use their own and their colleagues’ educational and rehabilitation experiences. They also try to discuss the idea of using practical software in making schools smart for the students who suffer from reading disorder and by explaining the status of software's and educational-computer games geared towards specialized services in the area of learning disorders in smart schools in order to describe the designing and using the software for computer games in connection with linguistics and discuss the challenges and the strategies of learning and rehabilitation disorders in reading by taking advantage of computer games. Making schools smart and using functional software at the schools’ level is a new approach which has become one of the main concerns of Iran and some other countries’ guardians of education.
