Cognitive or academic approaches

WHY

  • Adapt to the specificities of children's learning and build on their strengths

  • Each child has specific learning characteristics (see The Multiple Intelligences by H. Gardner) but atypical children have an even more critical need for adaptation to allow them to develop to their full potential.

  • Explain to the child the specifics of his functioning, to help him develop strategies
