The research aimed to reveal the effectiveness of a selective training program to reduce the symptoms of quantum apraxia for people with academic learning difficulties. The study sample consisted of fifth grade students from schools (Al-Qanat Primary - Ali Mubarak Primary - Al-Timouriya Primary - Al-Farma Primary) in Port Said Governorate, which is affiliated with the Sharq Educational Administration. Classes from the fifth grade schools were selected to represent the study sample as a whole. Care was taken to exclude students who study under the umbrella of the total integration program in general education schools and those with mild mental disabilities, slow learners, or physical, hearing, or visual disabilities from the study sample. The study sample was formed during applying the study program, the final number of the study sample became (10) male and female students. The control group sample consisted of (5) male and female students, while the experimental group sample consisted of (5) male and female students. Thus, the total sample for the current study became (10) male and female students in the class. Fifth graders have difficulties learning academic reading in the Arabic language, and they also suffer from speech disorders (parexia). This is the final sample of the study. The average IQ of the (experimental) group was (93.24), with a standard deviation of (3.18), while the average IQ of the (control) group was (92.94). with a standard deviation (2.794). The study tools were the speech apraxia scale, the student behavior rating scale (to classify cases of learning difficulties). In light of this, the program was built to implement it, and the study concluded: There is a statistically significant difference between the average ranks of the experimental group’s scores in the pre- and post-applications of the speech apraxia scale.
