First of all, you must be a Sapienza student. Next, you need to add that you have a disability to your Infostud profile.

If you are an international student, from within the European Union or from outside the European Union, you must provide a certificate confirming your disability.

This certificate, issued in the country where you live, must be accompanied by a sworn translation in Italian or English. A sworn translation is an official translation of a document that is legally binding. This is performed by a certified professional who swears before a court or notary that the translation is accurate and true to the original.
