Abstract
This study aims to demonstrate the importance of training children with learning difficulties and slow learning, through the application of the therapeutic sensory integration program. The sample comprised 40 cases, consisting of 16 girls and 24 boys studying at the elementary level. The researcher followed the experimental method, and in his pursuit of achieving the study's objectives, he used the Stanford–Binet Intelligence Scale: Fifth Edition (SB5) Arabization and Codification of "Safwat Farag". And the sensory checklist “Dr. Ahmed Mohamed Abdel Fattah”.
All cases suffering from learning difficulties exhibited signs of sensory integration disorder, with apparent gender differences in the prevalence of sensory integration signs favoring males. Therefore, this group needs to benefit from the therapeutic program based on sensory integration.
