They work, they try, but nothing helps: the results remain disappointing, the teachers are worried, and your child is starting to lose confidence. You have already tried tutoring and reviewed revision methods \u2014 without lasting success. What if the difficulty came from somewhere else? From a way of functioning that standard schooling has not identified?<\/p>\n
That is precisely the question the neuropsychological assessment<\/a> answers.<\/strong><\/p>\n School assesses what the child produces \u2014 their marks, their exercises, their behaviour. The neuropsychological assessment explores how their brain works to produce these results: their memory, attention, processing speed, executive functions and level of reasoning.<\/p>\n A child can have a very high IQ and fail at school \u2014 because ADHD disrupts their attention, or because undiagnosed dyslexia makes written work exhausting. Another may seem “average” while severe anxiety drags their performance well below their real potential. Without an assessment, these realities remain invisible.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Book a neuropsychological assessment for my child <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Qualified neuropsychologists \u00b7 Report within 2-3 weeks \u00b7 Recognised for PAP & MDPH \u00b7 Appointment within a few days<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n The neuropsychological assessment is for anyone \u2014 child, teenager or adult \u2014 whose cognitive or behavioural difficulties remain unexplained after the usual assessments. It is particularly recommended in the case of:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Using standardised, normed tests (WPPSI-IV, WISC-V depending on age), the neuropsychologist measures six major cognitive areas:<\/p>\n The results are expressed as standardised scores compared with a reference population of the same age. It is a scientific document, not just a clinical opinion.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If the difficulties mainly concern language \u2014 reading, writing, spelling, speech \u2014 the speech therapy assessment is often the first step. If the question concerns overall cognitive functioning \u2014 attention, intelligence, behaviour, emotional profile \u2014 start with the neuropsychological assessment. In many cases, the two are complementary and can be carried out on the same platform.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n At ORA-VISIO, the assessment is carried out by video conference by a neuropsychologist holding a Master’s degree. It takes place over several sessions: a clinical interview with the parents, the tests themselves, and feedback on the results. The report is delivered within 2 to 3 weeks. It can be used for a PAP (personalised support plan), an MDPH application, exam adjustments, or simply to better understand and support your child.<\/p>\nWhat a neuropsychological assessment reveals that school cannot see<\/h2>\n
