Specific treatment for learning disorders is known as psychopedagogical intervention, also called re-education or thinking and communication treatment. This intervention, performed by a therapist, is located at the intersection between the psychopedagogical approach and the psychotherapeutic approach.
Reeducation, when properly conducted, becomes a form of psychotherapy. It is particularly suitable when the child's level of symbolism does not match their age, which creates difficulties in their ability to learn. The objective of psychopedagogical intervention is to help the child to rebuild your mental network of idea associations, both as an intellectual process and as a lived experience. This allows you to move forward from the point where your evolution has stopped or slowed down, and to make progress in your learning.
In addition to addressing learning difficulties, it is crucial to consider emotional and relational problems that may arise during the assessment or treatment, as they affect the child's daily life and relationships. Therefore, psychopedagogical treatment integrates the combination of psychological support and teaching.
Psychopedagogical treatment consists of weekly sessions adapted to the specific needs of each child and their family. These sessions, which usually last between 45 and 60 minutes, are preferably done in a constant space to avoid distractions. El link between the child and their therapist is the central axis of treatment, where trust, communication and joint activities are encouraged.
It is essential to know the child thoroughly: how he feels, what his abilities and difficulties are. Through this bond, children develop interest in their therapist and in treatment, which facilitates improvement in areas such as attention, autonomy, language (oral or written), organization, and their self-esteem.
Each re-education is unique. From the start, it's essential to set specific goals for each child, and as the therapist gets to know him better, he discovers activities that can motivate him. The therapist does not just apply a list of exercises, but must be creative and invent activities according to the interests and needs of the child.
