In order to facilitate the inclusion of students with disabilities and with LSD during their university education, the University of Pisa provides specific services, in accordance with the reference legislation:
Services Unit for the Integration of Students with Disabilities (USID) and LSD Desk
In 2000, the University of Pisa established a special structure called the Service Unit for the Integration of Students with Disabilities (USID).
USID deals with removing the obstacles that stand between students with disabilities and university life, trying to improve the possibility of active participation in all its activities and facilities.
The University of Pisa also provides a dedicated Desk for LSD (Specific Learning Disorders) students, as well as a Listening and Counseling Service, open to all students.
The headquarters of USID/Sportello DSA/Listening Service is in Largo Bruno Pontecorvo 3 – Ex Marzotto Complex, Building G – 56127 Pisa.
