The effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation based on behavioral and movement training on improving practical functions and reducing boredom in children with developmental coordination disorder.

Introduction: The present study was conducted with the aim of the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation based on behavioral and movement training on improving practical functions and reducing boredom in children with developmental coordination disorder.
Method: The research was semi-experimental and a pre-test-post-test design was used with a control group.

To measure the effectiveness of the intervention, analysis of covariance was used at a significance level of 0.01 and SPSS26 software was used.
Findings: In the post-test phase, the difference in the average scores of practical functions and boredom in the experimental and control groups is significant (p<0.01) and cognitive rehabilitation based on behavioral and motor training leads to the improvement of practical functions and reduction of boredom in children with coordination disorder. It grows.
