The present research aimed to compare the verbal and nonverbal intelligence of students with dyslexia-dysgraphia and normal students. Thirty students with dyslexia-dysgraphia and 30 students from mainstream schools on grade 3 boy school in Tehran were selected. All subjects were matched by age and IQ. In addition students of two groups did not show any background on either emotional-behavioral difficulties or visual/audio weakness. The instruments were used in the research consisted of Dyslexia-Dysgraphia Inventory, Rutter Questionnaire, Raven Test, Reading-Writing Test, WISC, and a Personnel background questionnaire. Data was analyzed by t-test. Results demonstrated that the verbal intelligence of the dyslexia-dysgraphia group was significantly lower than the normal student, while, the nonverbal intelligence of dyslexia-dysgraphia group was significantly higher than the other group. In addition, the verbal intelligence was significantly lower than the nonverbal intelligence for the students with dyslexia-dysgraphia. However, this difference was not found for the normal group this research suggesting that the nonverbal skills of students with dyslexia-dysgraphia may be compensated the shortage of studentsʹverbal intelligence, if this can he well handled by appropriate educational methods.
