Difficulties learning to read (dyslexia), to spell (dysorthography), to concentrate or to coordinate complex gestures (dyspraxia)… “Dys” disorders are language and learning disorders. These “dys” can have consequences on schooling, daily life and lead to integration difficulties for these children. 40% of them have several associated learning disorders.
What are the different types of “dys” disorders? What do we know about their causes? What support and support exist?

► At the end of the program, we talk about the results of a study carried out by thePasteur Institute and the CNRS in collaboration with the GHU Paris Psychiatry and Neurosciences, Inserm and the CEA. This study demonstrates a dysfunction of certain neurons in the amygdala during a depressive episode which would be at the origin of the negative perception of the environment.

**Interview with Dr. Catherine Billard and Andréa Ndouna Depenaud on “Dys” Disorders**
*Host*: Welcome to our program! Today, we’re diving into an important topic that affects many children: “dys” disorders. Joining us are Dr. Catherine Billard, a neuropediatrician and former head of the Referral Center for Language Disorders at Bicêtre University Hospital, and Andréa Ndouna Depenaud, a speech therapist at CHU Amissa in Gabon. Thank you both for being here.
*Dr. Billard*: Thank you for having us.
*Andréa Ndouna Depenaud*: It’s a pleasure to be here.
*Host*: Let’s start by defining what “dys” disorders are. Dr. Billard, could you give us an overview?
*Dr. Billard*: Certainly. “Dys” disorders include a range of language and learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, which affects reading, dysorthography for spelling, and dyspraxia, which impacts coordination and complex gestures. These disorders can significantly affect a child’s educational experiences and daily functioning.
*Host*: That sounds challenging. Andréa, what percentage of children with these disorders face additional learning difficulties?
*Andréa Ndouna Depenaud*: Research shows that approximately 40% of children with a “dys” disorder may also have multiple associated learning disabilities. This can complicate their education and social integration even further.
*Host*: What do we know about the causes of these disorders, Dr. Billard?
*Dr. Billard*: While the exact causes remain subject to research, we know that a combination of genetic, neurological, and environmental factors contribute to them. Early identification and understanding are crucial for effective intervention.
*Host*: Andréa, what types of support are available for children with “dys” disorders?
*Andréa Ndouna Depenaud*: Support can come in many forms: specialized educational programs, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and psychological support. Tailoring interventions to the individual needs of each child is essential for helping them thrive.
*Host*: That’s very insightful. As we conclude, let’s touch on a study you mentioned regarding these conditions. What can you share about it?
*Dr. Billard*: At the end of our program, we will discuss the results of a recent study that provides new insights into the effectiveness of early intervention strategies for children with “dys” disorders.
*Host*: Thank you both for this enlightening discussion. It’s vital we continue to raise awareness about “dys” disorders and the importance of support for affected children. We look forward to hearing more about the study findings later.
*Dr. Billard and Andréa Ndouna Depenaud*: Thank you!
