Academic Challenges of Students with Specific Learning Disorder: Functional Profiles and Pedagogical-Didactic Implications


Abstract:

This research addresses a highly current topic in the field of Didactics and Special Pedagogy: the inclusion of students with Specific Learning Disorder (SLD) in the university context. It is only since the enactment of Law No. 170 of 2010 that Italian universities have been required to implement inclusive protocols and adopt teaching methodologies that consider the learning modes and specific difficulties of each student. The objective of this study is to analyze the functional profile of a group of university students with dyslexia through the administration of a standardized battery of tests for assessing reading and writing, examining the relative pedagogical and didactic implications.
