Abstract
The global COVID-19 pandemic requires us to rethink the practices of dealing with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD). The present work, based on the analysis of the scientific literature, provides food for thought on the modalities of using remote intervention and diagnostic tools with children with SLD. At the moment, in fact, a «telepsychology» approach can be well adopted in the rehabilitation field, while it seems difficult to use for diagnostic purposes, due to the lack of shared tools and procedures. The challenges of this time push us to think and create new on-line assessment diagnostic tools for SLD.
