“…Specific learning disorders (SLDs) are often associated with psychological and socioemotional difficulties [2,3,5,[7][8][9][10][19][20][21]. The learning difficulties of students with SLDs are not only reflected in the academic context but can also affect everyday social relationships [6,71].…”

“…In particular, they report difficulties in processing social signs and rules [2,8,10]. There is also scientific evidence of high comorbidity between learning disorders and psychopathology [3,5,19,20]. SLD children may present higher levels of academic anxiety symptoms [25,26], which can hinder adaptation and academic success [43].…”

“…The literature on this subject is extensive, particularly for adolescents and children. Many scientific studies have found a substantial comorbidity between learning difficulties and psychopathology [3,5,19,20]. Studies on children with SLDs found comorbidity rates of up to 60% [21,22].…”

“…These difficulties seem to persist over time and are also present in university students with dyslexia, who experience higher levels of somatic complaints and depression [28]. In this regard, Chiappedi et al [20], analyzing a group of students aged between 8 and 13, found that a positive school experience may reduce the risk of developing anxiety in adulthood. Therefore, poor accomplishment task performance appears to be quite important in predicting the presence of psychological issues, such as anxiety and depression [18].…”

“…Furthermore, in a study conducted in primary school, Marinelli et al [4] indicated that academic difficulties related to dyslexia can have an impact on self-esteem, besides academics [12,13,32] and other domains, especially for girls. The literature generally finds that primary school children with SLDs have a more negative self-concept than children without SLDs [20], influencing both school and interpersonal self-esteem [33] Ghisi et al [28] report that this perceived inadequacy also persists in adulthood. Indeed, some studies report that university students with SLDs have significantly lower academic self-efficacy scores than their peers without SLDs, even when they demonstrate successful academic achievement [34,35].…”

It is considered to be particularly interesting to enrich the scientific overview investigating the comorbidities of specific learning disorders (SLDs) in young adults. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the psychosocial and relational profiles associated with the presence of learning difficulties in a population of university students. The hypothesis is that young adults with SLDs have lower psychological and socio-relational functioning than their typical-development peers. We further hypothesized that the socio-relational difficulties of students with SLDs could be explained not only by referring to the presence of a learning disorder, but also by considering some variables that may follow the experience of students with SLDs. The results highlighted that students with SLDs, compared to their typical-development peers, have low self-efficacy, high academic anxiety scores, emotional problems, and issues with peers. We finally suggest considering these aspects as early as the diagnostic process to facilitate an effective treatment plan for learning disorders to prevent, in terms of developmental trajectory, the manifestation of these aspects in adulthood.

Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a common and well-recognized neurodevelopmental disorder affecting approximately 5 in every 100 individuals worldwide. It has long been included in standard national and international classifications of disorders (especially the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ). Children and adults with DCD may come to medical or paramedical attention because of poor motor skills, poor motor coordination, and/or impaired procedural learning affecting activities of daily living. Studies show DCD persistence of 30–70% in adulthood for individuals who were diagnosed with DCD as children, with direct consequences in the academic realm and even beyond. In particular, individuals with DCD are at increased risk of impaired handwriting skills. Medium-term and long-term prognosis depends on the timing of the diagnosis, (possible) comorbid disorders (and their diagnosis), the variability of signs and symptoms (number and intensity), and the nature and frequency of the interventions individuals receive. We therefore chose to investigate the signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and rehabilitation of both DCD and developmental dysgraphia, which continues to receive far too little attention in its own right from researchers and clinicians.
