The new edition, extensively revised and updated based on national clinical recommendations

and the new Guideline (ISS, 2022), provides useful information and tools to set up and implement the enabling and / or rehabilitative intervention of SLD in a correct and effective manner, starting from the patient’s operating profile, with the aim of improving the quality of life of the person with the disorder as much as possible.

In addition to the treatment of dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, dysorthography, impaired understanding and production of text, this book promotes an adequate assessment of visuospatial, attention and relational difficulties that can hinder the recovery plan.  In addition, it offers a valuable reflection on the effectiveness of telerehabilitation, suggestions for the choice of adequate compensatory and dispensatory measures and objective criteria for evaluating the outcomes of the interventions.

The operational suggestions proposed in this volume are based on the most recent scientific research, in particular on models of cognitive neuropsychology, and specify what is plausible to expect if the treatment is conducted correctly and which aspects of the disorder can be improved.
