The Portuguese legislation on special education does not consider learning disabilities as a category of the special educational needs spectrum. As such, students with learning disabilities are not entitled to receive specialized services needed to answer to their special needs. This article attempts to demonstrate that learning disabilities is a category of the special educational needs spectrum; therefore, the students with learning disabilities should receive special educational services when recommended in their individualized educational programs (IEP).
