Learning Difficulties in Reading can stem from a range of circumstances, so it is necessary for psychologists to gain a comprehensive understanding of this area"

Diversity is understood as the differences that students present in academic learning, differences in terms of aptitudes, interests, motivations, abilities, maturation rates, learning styles, previous experiences and knowledge, social and cultural environments, etc. These aspects make up student typologies and profiles that should largely determine educational planning and action.

The vision proposed by the emerging educational paradigm is inclusive and based on a biopsychosocial model that contemplates attention to diversity with a comprehensive approach aimed at the entire educational community. Psychologists, for different educational stages, as well as related professions in the educational and socio-health fields, need to know how to recognize this type of patient and identify their needs and have the knowledge and tools to intervene both at a personal and socio-familial level, and especially at an educational level.
