Results: Data analysis showed that between mean scores of pre-test and post-test in experimental and control groups, there was a significant difference (P < 0.01), so that neuropsychological rehabilitation improved problem solving in people with disabilities is math learning.

Conclusions: Considering the positive effect of this method, which was of interest to people with disabilities in math learning, this study showed that neuropsychological rehabilitation can be an effective way to achieve optimum performance in people who have math learning disability.
