Although the risk of psychopathological problems for adolescents with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) is well-acknowledged, few studies focused on this population after two years of Covid-19 pandemic. The study has two main goals: to investigate strengths and difficulties in the emotional, social and behavioral areas in a group of adolescents with SLD and to analyze the concordance between the mothers’, fathers’ and adolescents’ reports. The study involved 4 adolescents with SLD and 7 typically developing (TD) peers aged 11-14 years. The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) administered on-line. In contrast with the main pre- Covid studies, the SLD adolescents did not show more psychological problems than TD peers. On the contrary a higher percentage of adolescents with TD fell into the clinical range. We also observed a low parents-adolescent concordance. Clinical and educational implications derived from these results are discussed.
