External Factors in Supporting of Adult Students with Dyslexia in Greece.

Purpose: The aim of this research is to examine the external factors which they have intervened to support adult students with neurological disorders emphasizing to the specific learning difficulties (dyslexia) in tertiary education in Greece. We study papers into the bibliographical retrospection of the external factors which are implicated in direct supporting of adult students with diagnosis ''dys'' and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in the Agricultural University of Athens. Also, we have recorded the indirect supporting through individual teaching of Special Education and training in the University of Peloponnese in the Faculty of Humanities and Cultural Studies. Method: The tool consists of the bibliographical sources and papers between 2002-2016 and the method of interview. Also, we have used the targeted, structured, inclusive program differentiating the instructions with learning readiness activities in reading and memory skills. The factors are written down as external and internal based on the study of interventions according to the frame of Analytic Program of Special Education (Christakis, 2013). We have also used the Experimental Analytic Program for Specific Learning difficulties (Drossinou, and Markakis, 2000) adapted to the adults' teaching methodology. Results and Conclusion: The results show that the external factors which affect the support refer to the implementation of the legislation for the entrance and the facilitation of adult dyslexic students. Moreover, we noted the attitude of professors, the parents, the specialized counseling services, the external psychotherapies. In the internal factors we found that the support is affected by their so far lived experience in the school career, the awareness of the individual way of studying and their reading and mnemonic difficulties, as long as their selfesteem. In conclusion, the adult dyslexics students have and other needs ''psychological'' which cannot be included only in the external or in the internal factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
