Children with “dys” disorders, such as dyslexia, dysphasia, dyspraxia or even dysorthography, often have significant academic difficulties, especially in learning to write, read and arithmetic. Parents, for their part, are often helpless in the face of this situation. And for good reason, these disorders are often difficult to spot and are only detected when something is wrong, such as the child having difficulty speaking or tying his shoes. The National Institute for Prevention and Health Education has therefore published a new guide intended for parents to help them better understand “dys” disorders. This guide provides parents with information on the different stages in the care of their child, the adaptations that may be offered and the financial support for the specialized support of their child.
This guide is available free of charge on the Inpes website, www.inpes.sante.fr, in the departmental houses for disabled people and speech therapists.
