Évaluation gnoso-praxique linguale des enfants de 4 ans et demi à 9 ans et demi

The study of lingual gnosis and praxis skills of children aged from 4.5 years old to 9.5 years old has been realized on normal children and on children under speech therapy for speech and language disorder. The comparison of normal children between our research and the one of Tardieu shows that today's children aged between 6.5 and 9.5 years have lower gnostic skills than in 1973. We observe a lingual gnostic deficit for children of all ages receiving speech therapy, the gap tending to fade as they get older. It seems appropriate to integrate a speech-language assessment test to better understand the gnostic deficit of children with a verbal orality and/or eating disorder. Such information would help to define the therapeutic approach of the speech therapy and thus promote the education gnoso-oral praxis early.
