Our history
The Disability Service at the University of Trieste has been set up in 2001, pursuant to Law no. 17 of 1999 ( link ) in order to meet the needs of students with disabilities.
In 2011, after Law no. 170 of 2010 ( link) came into force, recognizing SLD as involving separate issues from disabilities, the Service has been renamed as "Service for students with Disabilities and with SLD ".
Therefore there is one Service, made up of two subservices: the Disability Service ( link) and the SLD Service ( link) .
How can we help you?
Our aim is to support student with special needs or with SLD, to ensure them equal learning opportunities by identifying and planning with each one the most appropriate means to allow him/her to reach his/her university goals in the most effective and independent way.
