Background and Purpose: Auditory discrimination deficiency is considered as one of the effective factors in spelling disorder. According to brain modality, mirror neurons are involved in transferring the motion concept from visual to auditory system. This study examined the effectiveness of visual stimulation on auditory discrimination and development of writing skills in students with spelling disorder.
 Methods: The present study is an experimental study and research design is pretest-posttest with control group. The study population consisted of all male and female students with spelling disorder in district 4 of Tabriz in the academic year 2015-2016 in age ranging from 7-9. 30 of these students (14 girls and 16 boys) were randomly selected and assigned into two groups (each group was 7 girls and 8 boys). First, Auditory discrimination test (Wepman, 1958) and writing skills development test (Ragheb, 1384) was conducted on the sample group. The experimental group received visual stimulation in 12 sessions of 30 minutes for four weeks. At the end, both groups were evaluated and the data analyzed using multivariate covariance.
Results: Findings showed that the implementation of visual stimulation can reduce auditory discrimination errors and improve spelling performance in students with learning disabilities           (P <0.0001).
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, visual stimulation with strengthening of the underlying psychological processes in children reduces the learning problems of students. Therefore, this new therapeutic approach can be used to improve spelling difficulties in students.
Keywords: Auditory discrimination, visual stimulation, spelling disorders
