The Effectiveness of training based on Shaw's method on Processing Speed of pupils with Borderline Intellectual Functioning (BIF), single subject

Abstract   Background and purpose: There wasn't any study about the Shaw's method on the Processing Speed of pupils with Borderline Intellectual Functioning. The aim of this study was to investigate the Effectiveness of training based on Shaw's method on the Processing Speed of pupils with Borderline Intellectual Functioning (BIF). Method: The Statistical population this study was all pupils with Borderline Intellectual Functioning in the city of Esfahan, in the 96-95 school year. Based on the framework of single case by using Multiple –baselines, 4 pupils with Borderline Intellectual Functioning were selected available sampling by using 2 Instruments the Wechsler Fourth Intelligence Scale (WISC-IV) and clinical interviews from one of the school in city of Esfahan.
