Özet:

 Reading skill is recognized as a critical indicator in the diagnosis of Specific Learning Disabilities SLD. This study aims to investigate the relationship between reading comprehension, reading speed, and cognitive flexibility levels in students diagnosed with SLD, as well as to compare reading comprehension, reading speed, and short-term memory STM capacities between students with SLD and their non-SLD peers. The study collected data from 40 participants diagnosed with SLD and 40 typically developing participants, matched for age and gender, who were receiving education at a private rehabilitation center in Istanbul. Reading skills were assessed using the Oral Reading Skills and Reading Comprehension Test-II, while STM capacity was evaluated through the Visual-Auditory Digit Span Test, Form B. Statistical analyses were conducted on the data obtained. The results indicated that students diagnosed with SLD demonstrated significantly lower reading comprehension and reading speed than the control group, with notable differences in cognitive flexibility and STM performance between the groups. The results were discussed and interpreted in the context of related studies and the literature. The study highlighted the importance of early intervention and targeted educational programs for students with SLD.

 Okuma becerisi, özel öğrenme güçlüğünün ÖÖG tanısında önemli bir gösterge olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu çalışma, ÖÖG tanısı almış öğrencilerin okuduğunu anlama ve okuma hızları ile bilişsel esneklik düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Ayrıca ÖÖG tanısı almış öğrenciler ile almayan öğrenciler arasındaki okuduğunu anlama, okuma hızı ve kısa süreli bellek KSB kapasitelerini karşılaştırmayı hedeflemektedir. Araştırmaya, İstanbul ilinde bir özel rehabilitasyon merkezinde eğitim gören 40 ÖÖG tanılı ve yaş, cinsiyet açısından eşleştirilmiş 40 normal gelişim gösteren katılımcıdan veri toplanmıştır. Araştırmada okuma becerileri, Sesli Okuma Becerisi ve Okuduğunu Anlama Testi-II ile, KSB kapasitesi ise Görsel İşitsel Sayı Dizileri Testi B Formu kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Veriler istatistiksel testler aracılığıyla analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, ÖÖG tanısı almış öğrencilerin okuduğunu anlama ve okuma hızlarının kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı derecede düşük olduğunu ve bilişsel esneklik ile kısa süreli bellek performanslarının bu gruplar arasında farklılaştığını göstermiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, ilişkili çalışmalar ve literatür ışığında tartışılmış ve yorumlanmıştır. Çalışma, ÖÖG olan öğrenciler için erken müdahale ve hedefe yönelik eğitim programlarının önemini vurgulamaktadır.
