This book provides teachers with an exhaustive framework of the characteristics peculiar to the various disorders, offering a number of indications and suggestions on how to work effectively both with cases where targeted remedial work is needed for specific difficulties and in situations where simple development or work in the emotional-motivational sphere and in the area of study methods is required.
The guide, the outcome of the work of the greatest Italian experts in the field, with its theoretical practical layout, offers a wide range of evaluation tools and proposals for didactic intervention (either for remedial or development work), thus offering the reader an essential tool to be used to deal with the increasingly more complex challenges that schools are asked to face.
As an appendix are national references on SLD and a section regarding the most widely used evaluation tools
