The current research aimed at identifying the effectiveness of flexible group strategy for developing visual movement and visual relations skills of learnable children with intellectual disabilities. The researchers utilized the experimental research approach of one experimental group design with pre-, post-, and follow-up measurements. The research sample comprised (12) male and female learnable children with intellectual disabilities whose ages ranged between (6: 11) years. The research tools included the Stanford Binet intelligence scale (5th ed.) and the visual discrimination skills for learnable children with intellectual disabilities scale (by the researchers), and a program based on a flexible group strategy (by the researchers). The most significant results revealed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean ranks of scores of the pre-and post-measurements on visual movement and visual relations skills scale among learnable children with intellectual disabilities- the research sample- in favor of the post-measurement. Besides, there were no statistically significant differences between the mean ranks of scores of the pre-and follow-up measurements on visual movement and visual relations skills scale among learnable children with intellectual disabilities. The researchers recommended the necessity of using the flexible group strategy with various samples. (Published abstract)
