Brief summary
The high incidence of neurodevelopmental disorders, including specific language and learning disorders, and their profund impact on the schooling of the children concerned remains a major public health concern. Early identification and intervention are a valuable tool for improving these problems. The developmental trajectory of children could be improved by knowledge enhancement, identification and strategies to support the teachers through the involvement of health professionals in the classroom
