Background and Aim: Most students with specific learning disabilities lag behind their peers academically, and the academic decline in these students is usually significant and obvious. One of these disorders, which is also more prevalent, is writing disorder, and research in this field seems to be essential. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of rehabilitation exercises with and without counseling patterns on the visual and auditory working memory of students with writing disorders. Research Methods: The research followed the protocol of applied and semi-experimental study, which was conducted as a pre-test and post-test with a control group. The statistical population of the study included female students with writing disorders in regular public elementary schools in District 4 of Karaj City, Iran. For this purpose, 45 people from the statistical population were randomly assigned to three groups of 15 people (rehabilitation exercise group, rehabilitation exercise + counseling group, and control group) using available purposive sampling. In the pre-test and post-test stages, the visual and auditory working memory test was employed. Rehabilitation interventions were implemented in ten 60-minute sessions for the rehabilitation group. Counseling sessions were conducted in eight 60-minute sessions for the counseling group. To analyze the data, multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) and Bonferroni's post hoc test were used in the SPSS (version 26) software at the level of 0.05. Results: Rehabilitation exercises with and without counseling patterns have a significant effect on improving the visual and auditory working memory of students with writing disorders. However, rehabilitation exercises with counseling patterns had a greater effect than rehabilitation exercises without counseling patterns on improving the visual and auditory working memory of students with writing disorders. Discussions: If counseling patterns are used along with rehabilitation exercises, it is possible to witness the improvement of visual and auditory active memory in students with writing disorders.
