However, almost all of the studies related to SpLDs deal with the difficulties that said disorders cause during childhood or adolescence. An interest in adults with SpLDs is only recent, especially in university students like those in this study. In Italy, research on SpLDs in higher education is rather limited. This study aims to rectify this lack of data by making a brief analysis of the data on SpLDs prevalence in higher education and of the courses chosen by university students with SpLDs. Our sample consisted of 585 students with SpLDs enrolled at 19 public universities that communicated the number of students who contacted their offices of service for students with SpLDs. The prevalence of students with SpLDs in the higher education populations we sample had a mean of 0.13% (<jats:italic>SD<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.11) and ranged from 0.03% to 0.48%. The data showed that the higher education faculties with the highest number of reported SpLDs students in our sample were Statistics, Agriculture, Veterinary Science, Education, and Architecture. It is important to analyse the trend in university enrolment of student with SpLDs to protect the right to education for people with SpLDs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/dys.1611","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,22]],"date-time":"2019-03-22T02:20:41Z","timestamp":1553221241000},"page":"219-224","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Examining the selection of university courses in young adults with learning disabilities"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8457-6554","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudio","family":"Longobardi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology University of Turin  Turin Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matteo A.","family":"Fabris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology University of Turin  Turin Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manuela","family":"Mendola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology University of Turin  Turin Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laura Elvira","family":"Prino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology University of Turin  Turin Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.books.9780890425596"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/08856257.2012.742748"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/002221949602900111"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/03075070410001682592"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","first-page":"19","volume-title":"Dislessia in et\u00e0 adulta [dyslexia in adulthood]","author":"Genovese E.","year":"2012"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","volume-title":"Dislessia e universit\u00e0 [dyslexia and university]","author":"Ghidoni E.","year":"2010"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","unstructured":"Horn L.
