This article reports the specific disorders and difficulties in school learning settings and its frequent and relevant problems, as outlined in psychological literature and pedagogical sciences. These definitions are recognized and fully contemplated by the Law in several European countries, including Italy, and treatment, educational and relational guidelines are proposed, to be considered in a logic of protection and promotion of the child’s well-being (as a children or teen) with its specific learning disability. This document contains a first approach to the subject, aimed to inform and guide for the identification and distinction of this pathologies, which can coexist, and to limit their negative effects, which could compromise the child’s growth and development, especially if addressed early. Specific learning disabilities are related to reading, writing and mathematical calculation; it is important that in a school context the operators are (in) formed, in order to face and guarantee every day the realization of student’s learning and educational work in general.

Specific learning disability is a common neurodevelopmental disorder affecting about 5–8% of the school-aged population. A key concept in specific learning disabilities is unexpected low achievement. An individual whose achievement in reading, math, or writing is both low and less than what would be expected based on developmental capacity and opportunity to learn and whose low achievement cannot be explained by a sensory impairment, limited language proficiency, or other impairing medical condition is considered to have a specific learning disability. This chapter provides an overview of issues and challenges involved in the identification and diagnosis of a specific learning disability, and it provides information on prevalence, epidemiology, and interventions for specific learning disabilities. Response-to-instruction models of identification hold promise for the identification of individuals with a specific learning disability, and they provide a means for the identification of false positives while enhancing the instructional context for children at risk.
