Abstract

Executive function disorders are more bound to occur in children with specific learning disorders (SLD). In this population deficits in executive functioning are associated with worse clinical conditions, maladaptive behaviors, and problems with school achievement. Here, are reported the effects of the training targeting these higher-order processes through computer games in a child with a diagnosis of SLD treated in our rehabilitation center. Results show an improvement after a 6-month training program for all the executive domains. © 2022 IEEE.
