The main objective of the research is strictly exploratory, i.e. to investigate the perception of learning disorders by all those who come into contact with children aged 6-14 years, during both their school education and their personal growth.

The second objective, which is closely related to the first one, is to understand if professionals need training and of what kind.

The survey, coordinated by Daniela Lucangeli, Mario Dupuis, Elisabetta Genovese and Giuseppe Rulli, was based on the distribution of specific questionnaires to ordinary and remedial teachers, headmasters, social workers and families across the whole national territory.
