Context
On 24 February 2024, the University of San Marino (UNIRSM) ran 'dislessIA', a full-day ministry-accredited seminar exploring how generative AI can support students with dyslexia and other Specific Learning Disorders, reaching teachers across the San Marino–Italy cross-border school system.
Results
The seminar was accredited for continuing professional development by Italy's Ministry of Education and is embedded in UNIRSM's ongoing postgraduate DSA programme, but no attendance figures, pre/post competency measures or student-outcome data have been published — the evidence here is institutional, not a measured improvement in teaching practice.
