Aims & Scope

Founded in 1998, Life Span And Disability promotes interdisciplinary research on psychological, social, educational, rehabilitative and neuropsychological aspects of the human life span.

The aim is to disseminate scientific studies tapping on cognitive, emotional and interpersonal – transient or permanent – problems that may occur during the individual’s life span, (e.g., adolescence, unemployment, retirement, fertility drop, normal and pathological aging), causing uneasiness or permanent disability.

Neuropsychological and social aspects of Intellectual Disability, as well as rehabilitation strategies to improve cognitive and adaptive functions and the quality of life of these persons are the main targets of scientific papers included in the Journal.

Attention is focused on potential or residual skills and competences that might be enhanced to promote individual’s fulfillment and cognitive development.

Personal skills and abilities are also considered from educational, social, environmental point of views, in relation with the bio-psychological bases and/or data derived from empirical research.

Both quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches are welcomed
