Abstract
Contents

LSC-SUA is a battery of tests for the evaluation of SLD and other difficulties in university students and adults. It is a resource that responds to operators’ growing need to fully evaluate adult learning.

The tests analyse the barriers and facilitators that can hinder / encourage the educational success of students with SLD.

The tests are divided into 4 areas:

Reading: reading passages, reading words and non-words, lexical decision in articulatory suppression.
Comprehension of text: passage A and passage B.
Writing: dictation of words under normal conditions and conditions of articulatory suppression; dictation of a passage; writing numbers in letters under normal conditions and conditions of articulatory suppression.
Calculations: dictation of numbers, reading numbers, mental calculations, arithmetic facts, approximate calculations and transcription in digits of numbers.

References for regulatory data, psychometric properties, methods of administration, calculation and how to read the results for each of the 17 tests are also provided. The compilation is completed by a self-perception questionnaire about the students’ difficulties.
