[Child's learning disabilities]

Child's learning disabilities. Learning disabilities are a frequent reason for consultation. If they are more frequent at the beginning of schooling, they may appear later. The family's complaint should be heard, and a rigorous integrative and multidimensional diagnostic approach should be carried out in order to identify the specific disorders at the origin of these difficulties. The therapeutic project set up will aim to accompany the young person, to re-educate the most disabling difficulties and to help him or her find alternative strategies. The impact of the disorders in the different dimensions of his or her development will be reduced, contributing to a better self-esteem and a rein estiment of his or hers schooling. The doctor's role is thus to accompany the child and his or her family along the path of care and to ensure that it is well coordinated.
