On 24 January, we celebrated World Education Day by presenting the Project Difference: Educational Support for young people with learning differences. Implementation and Results (2020-2023) report published by the Ricardo Fisas Natura Bissé Foundation and the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB – Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona).

Ten years into the Project Difference program, this study validated our model and confirmed its positive classroom impacts.

One in five students in Spain face learning difficulties that can affect their academic and personal development. Our experience in educational centers together with the results gathered in this study prove that the Early Intervention Response model can make a significant difference to identifying the needs of students with learning differences.

We hope this report is another step forward, allowing teachers, families and institutions to work together and create an environment that fosters equal access to learning achievement and personal development.
