male students (n=26) with physical disabilities studying at Soroush High School, Tehran, Iran a
special school for students with physical disabilities. The sample size was 26. Accordingly, 26
male students were selected from institutions serving children with physical disabilities using

except for emotion regulation training. The selected individuals were randomly divided into
two intervention and control groups each had 13 subjects. The intervention group attended
eight sessions of emotion regulation training twice a week. Each session lasted 60 minutes.
The scores of Beck depression inventory before and after the intervention were compared in
both the groups.
Results: Mean age of the participants was 15.8±3.47 years. ANCOVA test was used to examine
differences between the two groups. ANCOVA results showed that emotion regulation training
could significantly reduce depression in students with physical disabilities (P<0.05).

depression in students with physical disabilities. Therefore, the intervention used in the current
