[The place of the Avicenne Elal within the Avicenne Hospital CRTLA].

Abstract

The Centre référent des troubles du langage et des apprentissages (CRTLA) at Avicenne Hospital (Bobigny/Seine-Saint-Denis) offers multidisciplinary assessments for children with language and learning disorders. This child psychiatry facility sees many bilingual children, and takes this specificity into account during assessments to support the diagnosis. The team focuses on the child's evolution in all its dimensions, in relation to his or her developmental, family and cultural history. In this article, we describe the use of the Avicenne language assessment for allophones and newcomers, a mother-tongue study tool created at our CRTLA.
