Special educational needs
Inclusive education envisages teaching models and programmes that are fully accessible to students of all disciplines and levels, regardless of their disability, learning disorder, language and cultural background.
In order to promote inclusion and offer equal opportunities to all students, USI acts in a number of complementary areas, offering tools and measures that can be adapted to different specific needs.
EXAMINATION GUIDELINES FOR LEARNING NEEDS
Students who have been identified as having specific learning needs due, for example, to disorders such as dyslexia, dysorthographia and dyscalculia, may benefit from support measures during exams.
The support measures provided by USI and the procedure required to apply for such measures are described in the Examination guidelines for students with identified specific learning needs.
The Equal Opportunities Service is available to provide students, in consultation with the Pro-Rector for Education and Students' Experience and with the services concerned, with further information and personalised advice.
SEN-SI SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS
SEN-SI is a cooperation project, carried out in collaboration with SUPSI's Gender and Diversity Service, which aims to develop, implement and validate a new series of remedial and/or additional measures to support students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), introducing innovative teaching methods and technologies open to diversity in Bachelor and Master programmes, to ensure a high quality university education and a more inclusive environment for the entire student community.
Running period: 2021-2022.
