"Information for students with disabilities and / or LSD"

To guarantee equal opportunities and in compliance with the laws in force, students concerned can ask for a personal meeting in order to plan any compensatory tools and / or dispensatory measures, based on the didactic objectives and individual needs. For further information, it is also possible to contact the referent professor for  CInAP (Center for Active and Participatory Integration - Services for Disabilities and / or LSD) of our Department, Prof. Tprof.ssa S.
