Note that on its own, it cannot establish a firm diagnosis, but it can <strong>assess the risk level of dyscalculia<\/strong> in a child over the age of 7. Here&#8217;s an overview of this test.<\/p>\n<h2>What is the CAB-DC test for dyscalculia?<\/h2>\n<p>The CAB-DC is an <strong>innovative dyscalculia test<\/strong> made up of a whole set of tasks and exercises specifically designed to detect and assess the presence of symptoms and dysfunctions in the cognitive processes affected by this disorder.<\/p>\n<p>Available online, it is aimed at <strong>children over the age of 7, as well as teenagers and adults<\/strong>. While anyone can use it without difficulty, having the results read and interpreted by a <strong>professional<\/strong> is necessary to diagnose dyscalculia. If there is strong suspicion, the professional can carry out further tests to confirm it.<\/p>\n<p>Please note that while the CAB-DC is a particularly effective test, <strong>it can under no circumstances replace a clinical interview<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>How does the test work?<\/h2>\n<p>Lasting <strong>30 to 40 minutes<\/strong>, the CAB-DC test begins with a <strong>questionnaire<\/strong> made up of a series of age-appropriate questions: their purpose is to detect the main diagnostic criteria (<strong>DSM-5<\/strong>), signs and symptoms of <a href=\"https:\/\/ora-visio.com\/quelles-sont-differentes-formes-dyscalculie\/\">dyscalculia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, <strong>3 criteria<\/strong> must be distinguished:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A delay in <strong>number sense<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li>A delay in <strong>memorising<\/strong> arithmetic facts, or difficulties with the accuracy or correctness of <strong>calculation<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li>A disorder of <strong>mathematical reasoning<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The CAB-DC test continues with a <strong>battery of tasks designed to assess the neuropsychological factors<\/strong> identified for this disorder. Here again, the exercises, simple <a href=\"https:\/\/ora-visio.com\/en\/using-a-computer-for-children-with-dys\/\">computer-based games<\/a>, are adapted to the user&#8217;s age. The cognitive domains assessed include attention, memory, coordination, perception, reasoning and language.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How do you read the CAB-DC results report?<\/h2>\n<p>At the end of the CAB-DC test, a <strong>results report is automatically generated<\/strong>. It uses patented algorithms and artificial intelligence technology capable of analysing more than a billion variables.<\/p>\n<p>The report states the <strong>risk index<\/strong> for dyscalculia, classified as <strong>low, medium or high risk<\/strong>. It also lists the symptoms and warning signs. The cognitive profile itself is highly reliable, consistent and stable.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond helping with the diagnosis of dyscalculia, the CAB-DC test provides <strong>valuable information for building support strategies<\/strong> tailored to the patient&#8217;s strengths and weaknesses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If your child has difficulties with calculation, recognising arithmetic symbols, aligning operations, or understanding maths word problems, <strong>book an appointment with <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ora-visio.com\/en\/online-speech-therapy\/\"><strong>a speech and language therapist<\/strong><\/a><strong> for testing<\/strong> (including the CAB-DC) and to get a diagnosis. <strong>Early detection<\/strong> helps minimise future difficulties and allows your child to quickly develop their own coping strategies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cognitive assessment for patients with dyscalculia (CAB-DC) is one  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":344830,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[339],"tags":[354],"class_list":["post-344829","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-speech-therapy","tag-dyscalculia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ora-visio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/344829","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ora-visio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ora-visio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ora-visio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ora-visio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=344829"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ora-visio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/344829\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ora-visio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/344830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ora-visio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=344829"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ora-visio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=344829"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ora-visio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=344829"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
