Supporting Students With Specific Learning Disorders Through Higher Education

Abstract

Higher education became more inclusive and diverse, getting out of the lecture halls and seeking to facilitate an inclusive environment, as an indicator of educational programs quality. An inclusive learning environment is a barrier-free and inviting space, facilitating engagement and active participation, regardless of students' struggles, learning styles, and disabilities. Students with specific learning disorders (SLDs) succeed in higher education if their needs are addressed appropriately. University teachers have to address all their learners educational needs to ensure efficient knowledge and practice transfer. For doing that, they can test various ways to accommodate students' needs in order to identify the suitable one for a specific group of learners. The main issue in the process of digital transformation of the education environment is not only the creation of educational platforms and digital infrastructure with a good connection to the internet, but the elaboration and dissemination of new models of working and learning together.
