The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of mother-child interaction training on emotional-behavioral problems and executive functions of children aged 7 to 10 with learning disabilities. The research method was a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. The statistical population of the study included mothers of children aged 7 to 10 with learning disabilities who referred to learning disability centers in Tehran in the academic year 2024-2025, from whom 30 people were selected through purposive sampling and randomly placed in two groups (15 people in the control group and 15 in the experimental group). Data were collected from Achenbach & Rescorla's Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL, 2001) and Coolidge Personality and Neuropsychological Inventory (CPNI, 2002). The experimental group underwent mother-child interaction training in 12 90-minute sessions once a week in a group. Multivariate analysis of covariance was used for analysis. The results showed that by controlling for the pretest effect, there was a significant difference between the mean of the posttest emotional-behavioral problems and executive functions of the experimental and control groups at the P<0.001 level. As a result, mother-child interaction training can be used as an effective educational method to reduce emotional-behavioral problems and increase executive functions of children aged 7 to 10 with learning disabilities.
