Description
Summary:To prevent learning disorders, the authors propose a standardized approach of linguistic competences and psychomotor development in young children. Children were evaluated during the systematic examination that was carried out in nursery school between 3 years and 6 months and 4 years and 6 months of age. 2 investigations were led: investigation of prevalence led in 2660 children and evaluation of performance of the tests in 99 children among them. The statistical analyses of their results made it possible to determine scores helping with the decision of a request for assessment to diagnostic aiming. The sensitivity and the specificity of the tests increased with the age and were better within the framework of the tests of language. This new assessment was appreciated by the doctors users.
