Orientation for Students with Disabilities and Specific Learning Difficulties
Orientation and welcome
Sapienza's Unit for Students with Disabilities and Specific Learning Difficulties helps prospective Sapienza students to make informed choices about their chosen course. In collaboration with other Sapienza's facilities, the unit organises and manages initiatives to showcase the available services and facilitate entry into university life.
Our projects
Orientation activities take place throughout the year in various ways:
- Meetings with secondary schools: presentations and information activities at secondary schools;
- Open days at Sapienza: welcome service and specific booths at the unit's offices during Sapienza's annual event;
- Individual interviews: one-to-one meetings to analyse specific needs. To book your interview, please contact us

Inclusion and specialist support
The Unit for Students with Disabilities and Specific Learning Difficulties (SLD) collaborates with Sapienza's Career Service to ensure fair and tailored entry into the world of work.
This collaboration focuses on two main areas:
- working with the Career Service and Internships Unit to provide career guidance to students and graduates with disabilities;
- working with the Job Placement Unit for activities related to targeted job placement (Law 68/99).
SLD Career Service
The SLD Career Service is Sapienza's service designed to support students with SLD in their transition from university to the professional world.
