Geography and disability: a reflection on opportunities offered by teaching geography to dyslexic students

Abstract

Thanks to the enactment of Law 170/2010, in Italy teachers are required to adopt forms of teaching that differ significantly from the “traditional model” for students with dyslexia. A consideration on disability is an opportunity to reflect on the teaching of geographic skills, which consists mainly in the search for strategies that can facilitate the learning process of the students, even for people with learning difficulties. Geography becomes the discipline that can meet the needs of students with learning disabilities and which has great potential for teaching, because by means of values training and the organization of knowledge characterizing it, they can emphasize and highlight the processing of information that takes place on the basis of the person’s cognitive style.
