This article is based on the assumption that the presence of educational needs in classrooms is invisible because it is not included an accurate diagnosis. Two phases are designed. In the first phase, the practices of assistance to unspecified learning difficulties are analyzed by means of a descriptive design. The instruments applied are interviews, documents analysis and observation, interpreting the information within the framework of grounded theory. Secondly, from an activity of research process, a pedagogical intervention model is designed and validated. Other strategies are proposed, like respect for evolutionary processes and developmental rhythms, necessary multisensory adjustments applying the Universal Design for Learning (CAST, 2011), neuroeducation contributions, time management and environmental enrichment. Additionally, as regards teachers’ training, it is found that most of them have theoretical knowledge but lack practical application skills.
