[Specific aims of consultations for learning disorders].
OBJECTIVE
To describe the contribution made by consultations for learning disorders through their specific aims.


METHODS
The prognosis of children with specific learning difficulties, suffering from dysphasia, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, dysexecutive or dysattentional syndrome, partly depends on whether the methods and materials required for their re-educational and pedagogical adaptation are financed, made available and explained to the child's family in the cases that have been classed as the severest. This is the goal of the 37 reference centres that have been set up in France in the last five years. This work describes the objectives of this consultation, as well as specific ways in which useful information about the child can be shared.


CONCLUSIONS
Consultation for learning difficulties involves an interdisciplinary assessment that allows the case of a child with learning disorders to be placed within a new set of dynamics.
