The benefits of Sports in Specific Learning Disorders

Abstract

Recourse to the use of compensatory instruments in individuals with SLD, governed by Law No. 170/2010, has the purpose of making each subject an autonomous and independent entity, enhancing and increasing the abilities and skills of the same. These tools support the subject in the course of an otherwise complex service provided by the presence of the disorder. The use of compensatory tools allows the individual to best use his / her functions and resources, thus favouring his / her insertion into the social context. In this frame, sport takes on a key role as com- pensatory vehicle for strengthening and enhancement of the attitudes of individuals as well as their growth in the development of interpersonal relationships. The conduct of sports activities is a fundamental means for the transfer of skills and abilities whose mastery means greater certainty and control of their own means.
