LEARNING DISABILITY AND MEDICO-LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

Learning Disability is a pediatric disorder of reading, writing or arithmetic skills. When it's no secondary to known diseases (called Not Otherwise Specified) as autism, epilepsy or genetic pathologies, it causes many diagnostic difficulties. Especially if as in Italy the diagnosis involves the provision of benefits, also economic benefits. The available diagnostic instruments should have a sensible and specific diagnostic to win the simulation risk of siymptomps and for this reason a greater interest of research in this field is desiderable.
