An under-diagnosed condition, dysmnesia causes memory disorders<\/strong>. Usually seen as the consequence of another DYS disorder<\/a>, it struggles to be recognised as a condition in its own right. In fact, it doesn’t appear in the Medline thesaurus and has no precise definition. A closer look at this disorder, whose impact on school learning and social relationships is clear<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Dysmnesia, or memory-related difficulties<\/h2>\n

While memory is made up of a set of independent systems, they work in close interaction: there is short-term memory<\/strong> and the 4 systems of long-term memory<\/strong> – namely, the perceptual representation system<\/strong> (storing the structural representation of words, objects, faces, etc.), procedural memory<\/strong> (automated action procedures that are hard to put into words), episodic memory<\/strong> (memories of personally experienced events), and semantic memory<\/strong> (general knowledge about the world).<\/p>\n

Appearing naturally during a child’s development, dysmnesia refers to disorders that impair one or more of these types of memory<\/strong>. Note that cases resulting from a lesion (stroke, head injury, etc.) or an intellectual deficit are excluded and not included in this diagnosis, even though they produce similar symptoms.<\/p>\n

How dysmnesia shows up at school<\/h2>\n

Like other DYS disorders (dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia…), dysmnesia expresses itself through a wide range of symptoms,<\/strong> since the memory deficit can affect immediate, short-term and\/or long-term memory. Persistent<\/strong>, these difficulties inevitably have significant repercussions<\/strong> on school learning.<\/p>\n

In practice, a child affected by this disorder may frequently lose personal belongings<\/strong>. They may also forget a lesson<\/strong> learned just the day before, or the instructions<\/strong> given for an exercise, forcing them to re-read them several times. Similarly, they may find it hard to understand the content of a long text<\/strong>, forgetting the first sentences, even without any actual reading difficulties.<\/p>\n

The impact of dysmnesia on school learning<\/h2>\n

Children with dysmnesia face real difficulties with school learning<\/strong>, not to mention relational difficulties with teachers. Teachers may reasonably think that the child didn’t take the time to learn their lessons<\/strong>. At home, parents can face the same issue, when they don’t accept this seemingly “scatterbrained<\/strong>” side of their child, which gets unfairly attached to them.<\/p>\n

More broadly, in all social interactions<\/strong>, these children struggle to follow a class, a presentation, or even a conversation.<\/p>\n

When diagnosed early, they can begin therapy with <\/strong>speech and language therapists<\/strong><\/a>, sometimes supplemented by the involvement of other specialised professionals<\/strong>, such as occupational therapists<\/a>. Very often, they are guided towards manual or practical careers, towards learning “hands-on” skills.<\/p>\n

Don’t hesitate to explore the range of options available to help your child with dysmnesia, by consulting one of these professionals on the Ora-Visio platform, which specialises in supporting children with DYS disorders<\/strong>. Faced with these lasting difficulties, their goal is to give each child personalised keys to work around their symptoms and live as normal a life as possible. Not knowing the origin of the disorder makes it harder to treat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
