Abstract

Students with learning disabilities in higher education face unique challenges in the educational process; increased awareness and support can significantly improve their academic trajectory, outcomes and autonomy. Although stigmas and resource constraints present obstacles, solutions such as increased educator training, policy advocacy, and early intervention programs can address these challenges. For that reason, the research is conducted through a literature review to identify the landscape of learning disabilities in higher education, providing information on the prevalence, nature, impact, and underlying mechanisms of these challenges. By focusing on these adaptive educational strategies and improving the accessibility of resources, higher education institutions can foster an inclusive environment that supports the success of all students, including those students with learning disabilities.
