Abstract
<p>The present study aimed to investigate the impact of applying a computerized strategy based on training upon developing the skill of Math word problem solving among students with learning disabilities (attention-deficit) in Mathematics. The study sample consisted of (14) students with learning disabilities in Mathematics, randomly chosen from elementary public schools in the city of Najran, Saudi Arabia, and distributed evenly into two groups: The control group (7) students who studied in the traditional way and the experimental group (7) students who studied in computer-based training strategy. Pre-and-post achievement test conducted in Mathematics. The results showed that there are statistically significant differences at the post-achievement test in mathematics in the skill of Math word problem solving in favor of members of the experimental group, which indicates the effectiveness of the computer-based training strategy upon developing the skill of Math word problem solving. Accordingly, the study made several recommendations; the most notably is urging official bodies and educational institutions to provide educational computerized software and to be circulated to elementary public education schools.</p>

Al-Maliki (2008) showed that there is an effect of utilizing the enriching activities by a computer program in the treatment of learning disabilities in Mathematics among a sample of third grade students with learning disabilities and the differences were in favor of the experimental group
Summary
Rapid development in teaching and learning strategies occurred in the 20th century; it has become difficult to expect the individual’s performance in the future. The emergence of software techniques entitled us to apply them in all professional areas of life, especially in education and learning In this regard, Al-sabagh (2005) pointed out that Mathematics based on the inductive method to get mathematical knowledge included some scientific skills such as drawing, measurement, and solving math word problems. The current study seeks to convey the significance of utilizing a computerized strategy based on training in Mathematics; because of its impact on improving the level of students with learning disabilities (attention-deficit) in solving Math word problem. Reviewing the pieces of literature mentioned above supports conducting the current study and achieving its objectives because Saudi Arabia lacks such studies to detect the effectiveness of applying computerized strategy for the acquisition of skills of solving Math word problems among students with learning disabilities (attention-deficit) in Mathematics in elementary schools
