[Place of the BMT-i modular tool in the assessment of learning disabilities]

PLACE OF THE BMT-I MODULAR TOOL IN THE ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING DISABILITIES Twenty percent of children have difficulties learning to read, write, or count. Eight percent of children have a specific and durable impairment in the development of a learning or cognitive function or Learning Disabilities (LD), often called «dys» (dysphasia, dyslexia, dysorthography, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, etc.). This is a public health problem, which has been addressed by the Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS), which recommends a health program based on the needs of each child, coordinating education and health professionals - rehabilitation specialists and medical prescribers. The role of the child's doctor is essential in the first line of action to identify these problems, to examine the child, to prescribe reeducation when necessary and to follow the evolution. However, he has received little training. The modular BMT-i (computerized adaptable test battery) tool is validated, easy to use and reliable. It allows the screening of difficulties in each domain in 10 to 25 minutes in front of a complaint by selecting the appropriate tests. A choice of clinical situations helps to understand the disorders and the approach of the examination of the child, to inform the families of the results, to accompany them on the therapeutic project and to prescribe the care adapted to each situation.
