Particular attention is given to students with Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) and Special Educational Needs, offering tools that can be personalised and adapted.
The book is completed by support materials, assessment tools and downloadable online resources: worksheets, in-depth materials and practical guides, useful both during the programme and for independent study at home.
