Abstract: Mainstream perspectives about Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) range between the rehabilitative and psychological understanding of SLD.Few studies have been developed to detect SLD perception in school participants in reference to a cultural standpoint.Adopting a social constructivist perspective, which is part of a cultural framework, the present work aims at detecting the cultural models influencing the perception of SLD in a sample of parents and teachers.A multiple choice survey was administered to primary school parents (n = 1095) and teachers (n = 110), and a subsequent multidimensional analysis procedure consisting of both Multiple Correspondence and Cluster Analysis allowed the collection of cluster profiles describing SLD knowledge among the sample.Finally, a Chi-Square analysis investigated the significant differences in SLD perception among parents
