educational psychology, educational guidance, learning disabilitiesAbstract
The research objective is described as analysing the pedagogical approach to learning disabilities, psychological well-being and emerging technologies in a university context. The research article was carried out under the typology of review, once the 30 articles to be reviewed as a population segment were configured, a content analysis was carried out to extract the relevant information and process it in the results section. The results show that the relationship between learning disabilities, psychological well-being and emerging technologies is an essential topic in educational psychology, especially in higher education. Students with disabilities face challenges that affect their academic performance and mental health, but they must also develop strategies to adapt to the student community; while emerging technologies, such as self-assessment tools and simulations, offer new possibilities for personalising learning and making it more accessible.
