Students with Special Needs Office

The Students with Special Needs Office offers students with disabilities an environment in which specifically appointed staff is responsible for listening and responding to requests on accessibility, supportive information and additional services.

The Office, in close collaboration with the Rector’s Delegate for disability, specific learning disorders and inclusion support, plays an active and proactive role in dealing with special needs in compliance with Law 17/99 – which supplements Law 104/92 – specific services are organised and provided to facilitate the integration and inclusion into University life for students with documented disabilities (equal to or greater than 66%) in order for them to exercise a real right to education through a process of social integration.

The Office provides and coordinates, upon student request, services aimed at enabling and facilitating university attendance on a specific case-to-case-basis.

At each Department, a Professor has been appointed as the contact person for the educational issues regarding the Department itself .
In compliance with Law 170/2010, a tutoring service for students with SLD is available to support students with specific learning disabilities (SLD) with particular attention to dyslexia.
