Abstract: "This article discusses common features of learners with Specific Learning Differences (SpLDs), including ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and dyscalculia, in the foreign language classroom. Emphasis is placed on the overlapping nature of these characteristics and their spectrum-like presentation, rather than fixed diagnostic criteria. The article highlights that recognising shared traits across SLDs opens the way for developing inclusive teaching strategies, materials, and lesson designs that support all learners, regardless of diagnosis. This includes approaches such as Universal Design for Learning (UDL). However, implementing such solutions requires first understanding how SpLDs manifest specifically in the foreign language classroom."
