Background and Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation games on improving basic mathematical concepts and skills in students with intellectual disabilities.
Materials and Methods: This study employed a single-case experimental design using a multiple baseline across participants. Five elementary school students with mathematical difficulties were selected from a clinic supervised by the Yazd Department of Education. Intellectual functioning was assessed using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children–Fifth Edition (WISC-V), and mathematical skills were measured using the KeyMath Mathematics Test. Data were collected across three phases: baseline, intervention, and follow-up. During the intervention phase, each participant received at least fifteen 60-minute sessions of cognitive rehabilitation game-based training. No intervention was provided during the baseline and follow-up phases.
Results: Visual analysis of data demonstrated that cognitive rehabilitation games had a positive effect on improving operational, conceptual, and applied mathematical skills in all paticipants. Moreover, the improvement obsereved during the intervention were maintained during follw-up, indicating the stability of treatment over time.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that cognitive rehabilitation game-based training is an effective intervention for improving mathematical performance, including operational, conceptual, and applied skills, in elementary students with intellectual disabilities.
