Aim and Background: This study examined the effectiveness of Toukaa software (a Persian application of learning difficulties) on audio detection and memory in children with learning difficulties (dyslexia). Methods and Materials: This was a quasi-experimental study with pre- and post-test design and control group. In this study, using Toukaa software, the experimental group were trained in 10 sessions. The population consisted of all the students in the first grade of school with age of 7 to 8 years in Isfahan city, Iran. These students were referred by some experts in psychology. The participants were equally divided into two groups of experimental (n = 10) and control (n = 10). Research tools included children Wechsler Intelligence Scale (WAIS) and reading achievement test. For data analysis purposes, the progress of two groups of control and experimental were examined via comparing the scores of the two groups using ANOVA test with repeated measures, Mauchly test and consistency of variances. Findings: Toukaa auditory memory training software improved the recognition and auditory memory among the children with learning difficulties (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Considering the effect of Toukaa software on improving audio detection and memory in children with learning difficulties (dyslexia), and as these children suffer memory disorders, we suggest to use this software 15-20 minutes per day to improve their memory capacities.
