This study aimed at examining the effectiveness of a specially designed Arabic picture vocabulary program on developing oral language, visual imagery and memory skills of a first grader. The student was purposively selected due to his poor standard Arabic oral language and memory skills. The student had received intensive intervention sessions for two months using an adapted version of the Visualizing and Verbalizing Program® by Lindamood-Bell. Pre-test, during-the-intervention-test, and post-test assessment used various formal and informal instruments to accurately measure the student’s progress. Results showed statistically significant improvement in all targeted cognitive and achievement skills. Recommendations included further intervention sessions specially to improve memory skills.
