We start by understanding what you need

Assessing attention, memory, language and other cognitive functions helps us understand a child or teenager's difficulties and strengths. This information guides a plan for learning support, rehabilitation or cognitive skills development, with family and school involvement where appropriate.

Start with a task your child finds difficult, such as following instructions, reading, recalling what they have learnt or organising schoolwork. We look at what happens, how it varies by situation and what the child does well. School marks tell only part of the story.

Your environment also counts.

The family participates in the accompaniment and, when the situation requires, we coordinate with the school and other professionals. Understanding the context is part of the work.

Different ways to be by your side.

Explore the types of care available. What we suggest depends on an individual assessment.

Supports adapted to the way each child learns.

Learning support and rehabilitation start with an assessment of needs and strengths. We adapt the plan to the child or teenager, their everyday activities and their circumstances at home and school.

Knowing their strengths and the difficulties they encounter in learning.

Neuropsychological assessment for children explores the cognitive functions involved in learning and daily life. Attention, memory, language and executive functions are considered in relation to the child's development and current needs.

Develop cognitive resources and capacities.

Cognitive skills development starts from each child or teenager's profile and goals. Activities may focus on attention, memory, organisation or reasoning, depending on their needs and interests.

Questions before you get started

What should be explained when requesting a visit?

Tell us which activity they find difficult, when you first noticed and how it affects their daily life. It helps to say what they do well and what support you have tried. If you have previous reports, ask which information would be useful to share.

Assessment, learning support or cognitive skills development?

Assessment helps clarify the child's strengths and difficulties and guide decisions. Learning support and rehabilitation address specific needs. Cognitive skills development works towards defined goals for particular abilities. The approach and goals depend on the individual assessment.

Do you take into account what happens at school?

Learning takes place in different settings. Information from home and school helps us understand the difficulties and what support is available. We consider working with the school where appropriate. You can ask how this might work for your child.

We can start with what you're worried about.

You don't need to know which service to choose. Tell us your situation and we will guide you on how to start.
