Neuropsychology and Speech Therapy

Our activities in hospitalisation are of two kinds:  assessment or evaluation of difficulties and rehabilitation/readaptation in the case of speech and neuropsychological deficiencies following a lesion (injury, trauma), a brain dysfunction or a neurodevelopmental disorder.  Our staff are present in neurology, physical medicine and readaptation, neuropaediatrics, geriatrics, child psychiatry, E.N.T. and neurosurgery, etc  

Outpatients are seen for their neuropsychological or speech disorders at the Geriatric Day Hospital, the Outpatient Centre for Neurological Functional Readaptation for Adults (C.R.F.N.A.), the Centre for Neurological Functional Readaptation for Children  (C.R.F.N.I.) or at the Learning, Growing and Becoming Centre. 
The neuropsychologist treats cognitive, behavioural and emotional aspects. He or she informs the patient and those close to the patient of the link between cognitive and behavioural dysfunctions as evaluated and present or future consequences for daily and professional life. The neuropsychologist takes into account the psycho-affective, social and environmental context so as to arrive at the best possible understanding of the importance of incapacities and handicaps and proposes individualised treatment indications.      

The speech therapist carries out assessments and re-education in the case of language (language development, dyslexia, aphasias), voice (dysphonia) and deglutition (dysphagia) disorders  as well as facial muscle (paresis, paralysis) problems in brain-damaged patients or patients presenting neurological and neurodevelopmental pathologies.
