Far from viewing DYS disorders as a pathology, speech therapist B\u00e9atrice Sauvageot prefers to speak of a different brain wiring<\/strong> or an unexplored form of intelligence. Founder of the association “Puissance Dys”, she has developed a method to unlock this potential<\/strong>. It is based on therapeutic and educational techniques built around the idea of enjoyment. Awarded a prize by the Fondation de France, it is now available in a digital version, through the Dysplay app.<\/p>\n

B\u00e9atrice Sauvageot, an empathetic response to the pain of disability<\/h2>\n

Born in Nice, B\u00e9atrice Sauvageot grew up in Abidjan and dreamed of “becoming a journalist, a clown and a musician”<\/em>. At 18 months old, she contracted polio, which left her with lasting effects in her leg<\/strong>. “Like people with DYS disorders, I move through a world that wasn’t designed for me,”<\/em> she would later say in an interview for Madame Figaro published in January 2019[1]<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She discovered dyslexia through her babysitter from Burkina Faso<\/strong>: he spoke 7 languages, but could not manage to learn to read and write. On returning to France at the age of 8, she did not like school, but her African childhood gave her a love of sounds, languages and music, which drew her towards studying to become a speech therapist<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After working in private practice for a year, B\u00e9atrice Sauvageot quickly saw that the classic methods didn’t work, or worked poorly<\/strong>. Having never seen dyslexic children as ill, she also couldn’t understand this urge to “cure” them at all costs. In the midst of this professional confusion, a fellow speech therapist at the practice told her, “instead of changing profession, change the profession<\/strong>.”<\/em> A turning point.<\/p>\n

The “Puissance Dys” association: helping DYS children break free from failure<\/h2>\n

In 1992, B\u00e9atrice Sauvageot founded <\/strong>the Puissance Dys association<\/strong><\/a> with the writer, neurologist, linguist and poet Jean Metellus. Surrounded by scientists, artists, teachers and therapists, she created a playful method<\/strong>, blending music, singing, dance and laughter.<\/p>\n

“I build on awakening the senses and bring enjoyment back into learning to read and write<\/strong>. A person with DYS can only learn through movement. They see the world in a spatial, graphic way, like Leonardo da Vinci or Rodin, who were themselves dyslexic. When DYS children come to see me, I don’t point out their weaknesses; instead I give them an assessment of their skills and strengths<\/strong>, which the remediation work will then build on. Each therapy is tailored to the child’s personality and needs,”<\/em> she explains, describing her distinctive approach.<\/p>\n

B\u00e9atrice Sauvageot has developed a neurological alphabet and language<\/strong>, called Bilexie<\/strong>, available in Word<\/strong>, which allows dyslexic children to read straight away. Their progress is spectacular: they then become fully aware of their own potential<\/strong> and the richness of their personality.<\/p>\n

Today, her method is also available in a digital version, Dysplay<\/strong>, to diagnose and support DYS children as early as possible. Made up of around a hundred questions, it offers free, reliable and quick screening<\/strong>, “sorting” children who are simply behind from those with genuine DYS disorders.<\/p>\n

Feel free to discuss B\u00e9atrice Sauvageot’s method with an online speech therapist<\/a> on the Ora-Visio platform! Our professionals can help explain this distinctive, but resolutely positive, approach.<\/p>\n
