The logico-mathematical assessment<\/strong> is an essential tool for detecting and understanding the difficulties a child or teenager may face in logical reasoning, calculation and mathematical skills. Often requested in a school context, it helps identify specific disorders and put suitable solutions in place.<\/p>\n A logico-mathematical assessment<\/strong> is a speech and language therapy evaluation that explores several key skills:<\/p>\n Logical reasoning<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Understanding of numerical concepts<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Mental and written calculation<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Problem-solving<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Organisation of mathematical thinking<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Handling of quantities and measurements<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n This assessment is essential when persistent difficulties appear in maths, despite regular teaching and suitable school support.<\/p>\n Several signs can be a warning and justify carrying out a logico-mathematical assessment<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Difficulty understanding number concepts, operations or problems<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Frequent errors in simple calculation<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Excessive slowness in maths<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Difficulty understanding logical instructions (before, after, greater than, less than)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Poor spatial organisation in written exercises<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Anxiety about, or rejection of, maths<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n These difficulties may be linked to a specific disorder such as dyscalculia<\/strong>, or be part of a broader learning disorder.<\/p>\n The logico-mathematical assessment<\/strong> takes place in several stages:<\/p>\n Initial interview<\/strong>: The speech and language therapist gathers information about the patient’s school, medical and family background.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Standardised testing<\/strong>: Various exercises assess logic, calculation, number handling, spatial reasoning and problem-solving.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Qualitative analysis<\/strong>: The speech and language therapist observes the strategies used, the types of errors made and the child’s attitude towards the tasks.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Written report<\/strong>: Usually within a week, a detailed document is given to the family, along with an interpretation of the results and recommendations for possible follow-up or school accommodations.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n At Ora-Visio<\/strong>, this whole process can be carried out via teleconsultation, in optimal and secure conditions.<\/p>\n A logico-mathematical assessment<\/strong> makes it possible to:<\/p>\n Establish a precise diagnosis (specific learning disorder, dyscalculia, targeted school delay, etc.)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Obtain clear recommendations for educational support<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Justify a request for school accommodations (PAP, PPS, MDPH application)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Develop a tailored speech therapy intervention plan<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Restore the child’s confidence in their abilities<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n By identifying difficulties early and intervening in a targeted way, it is possible to prevent the child from dropping out of school and to help them rediscover a love of learning.<\/p>\n A logico-mathematical assessment<\/strong> can be requested by:<\/p>\n Parents, when they notice specific difficulties in maths<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The teacher or school, as part of educational monitoring<\/p>\n<\/li>\n A doctor (paediatrician, paediatric neurologist) in case of a suspected learning disorder<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n In all cases, a prompt assessment makes it possible to act effectively.<\/p>\nWhat is a logico-mathematical assessment?<\/h2>\n
