Services to students with SLD
All students with SLD of UniTo, including those who attend the courses in the peripheral venues, can benefit from the support services. Incoming students on Erasmus or international mobility period can benefit too from these services and support.
We can meet in order to know each other and to understand how to support you during your path. You can also participate in our group meetings organised at the beginning of the academic year.
How to request the services
Fill in the take charge form and send it to the Office to the address [email protected], attaching your certification of SLD.
List of services
- Mediation with the teachers for the exams: the office, if necessary or when requested by you or by the teachers, can provide details about the individual treatment, compensatory instruments and dispensatory measures, according to the current legislations of the university field, considering also your specific difficulties
- Peer-to-peer DSA students: if you are a fresher with SLD, you will be able to meet, in the University, senior students with SLD with whom you can have a feedback, share experiences and work on the most efficient learning method. These figures have received a specific education on the learning method and have had the possibility to verify the most useful methods in the university field, apart from knowing the use of compensatory instruments and technologies. This support can be suggested by the Office. Contact us for further information
- Computer stations, provided with specific aids/software, available on the UniTo venues
- Texts in an accessible format: if you are a student with dyslexia, you can request a format accessible for you for the texts of the exams, if available.
