20.500.12556/RUL-168064 University students with specific learning disabilities insights from instrumental, neuro-psychological and study-related profiles In recent years, there has been a growing enrolment of students with specific learning disabilities (SLDs) in Italian higher-education programmes, underscoring the need for universities to support these students by identifying their strengths and weaknesses and developing targeted interventions. However, literature focusing on university students with SLDs remains limited. This study aims to describe the profiles of a sample of first-year Italian university students with SLDs, examining aspects such as instrumental skills, neuropsychological profiles and study-related abilities. Our results confirm that instrumental skills in students with SLDs are statistically lower than the normative average, indicating that difficulties in reading and arithmetic seem to persist into adulthood in students with SLDs. Additionally, a detailed neuropsychological assessment reveals significantly lower verbal working memory among students with SLDs, but statistically significant higher scores in visuospatial abilities. Furthermore, the results show that students with SLDs rate lower on learning approach scales; however, no differences were found in study strategies and learning goals. These findings highlight a unique profile among the university students with SLDs and underscore the need for tailored intervention programmes and support services to increase awareness and foster academic success among these students. learning goals neuropsychological profiles specific learning disabilities study approach study strategies university students učni cilji nevropsihološki profili strategije specifične učne težave študenti vzgoja in izobraževanje oseb s posebnimi potrebami višje in visokošolsko izobraževanje true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-03-27 12:08:01 2025-03-27 12:08:02 2026-06-02 04:34:14 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 310–321 iss. 3 Vol. 52 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 376:378 1467-8578 10.1111/1467-8578.70009 230406147 British_J_Special_Edu_-_2025_-_Morosini_-_University_students_with_specific_learning_disabilities__Insights_from.pdf British_J_Special_Edu_-_2025_-_Morosini_-_University_students_with_specific_learning_disabilities__Insights_from.pdf 1 1AB0AC309BA7F54772B2A1ECC2A32D58 a831c904975a39b5eb8128b4770414acaa72d6b7f7a7948f857bd4a607ee46ab be31149f-5dc7-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=234809 https://nasenjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1467-8578.70009 0 b84f2da8-0afa-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=201057 Pedagoška fakulteta 0 0 0
