The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation and sensory integration exercises on reading function and executive functions of bilingual students with dyslexia. The research design was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest and control group and a two-month follow-up stage. The statistical population included the bilingual primary school students with dyslexia who were referred to the Learning Disabilities Centers in Ahvaz city in 2023-2024. The sample size included 45 students selected by the convenience method who were randomly divided into two experimental and Control groups. Data collection tools were the Dyslexia Symptom Checklist (RLDL), SalimiTeymouri (2003), Reading & Dyslexia Test "NEMA" (RDT-NEMA), KaramiNooi & Moadi (2008), Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT), Deari et al (1977), and Stroop Color–Word Test (Stroop Test), Reidly Stroop (1935). After training the experimental groups, a post-test was performed, and after two months, a follow-up stage was performed to assess the stability of the training. Repeated measures analysis of variance was used in data analysis. The results showed that cognitive rehabilitation intervention and sensory integration exercises were effective in reading function and executive functions (p<0.01). There was no significant difference between the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation intervention and the sensory integration exercises in reading function and executive functions (p<0.05). Therefore, strengthening basic cognitive and sensory factors using cognitive rehabilitation and sensory-motor integration in the early years of education can be an effective approach in improving executive functions and treating dyslexic students.
