Learning disability at university: a survey through the students’ perspective

The research, oriented by the pedagogical approach of the Student Voice, aims to explore the state of the art of the didactic inclusion of students with specific learning disorder in the universities of Bologna and Modena-Reggio Emilia. Students’ perceptions about the practices useful to promote access and participation in academic life are reported and discussed. With the promulgation of some laws in support of inclusion issue and thanks to the spread of many frameworks for the design of accessible teaching resources – together with the rapid spread of digital technologies – university practices and policies are being redefined in various ways to guarantee, to the more fragile students, a fair participation in the learning environments. It’s in this challenging scenario that we place the present contribution.
