Study Description

General practitioners during a day of professional training on learning disabilities will be trained to perform the proprioceptive Maddox, to search for a HVLabile.

Each trained practitioner will then test at least six children aged 8 to 12 years old in his or her practice, seen at random

250 to 300 physicians will be trained as part of this research

EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN

  • Cross-sectional study with prospective recruitment.

  • Search for a Vertical Labile Heterophory (HV-Labile).

  • Prescription of a standardized speech and language screening assessment for HV-Labile, and in the same number of children without HV-Labile by secondary coupling.

  • Delivery of symptomatic questionnaire.

  • In case of learning disabilities, the attending physician should look for a possible etiology.

  • Adapted speech therapy care for more than six months.

  • Speech and language therapy check-up at more than six months.
