Dys disorders in children and adolescents 

Dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysphasia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia…

Children with ” dys ” disorders often have a difficult time in school. They face a lot of suffering and misunderstanding. It is not easy for them to fit into their classes and follow the program in the traditional way.

DYS- stands for ” dysfunction “. There are different learning disabilities that can occur in children who have normal intelligence and social behavior and who do not have sensory problems (sight, hearing).

How can I help my dys child? 

Yasmina Benkhettab’s personal experience with dyslexia

Yasmina Benkhetttab, founder and director of Benk, is personally concerned by the problems of children ” dys ” because she has experienced the suffering of her children, who have faced these learning difficulties.
Mother of two children “dyslexic, dysorthographic, dysgraphic, dyscalculic and dyspraxic combined”, she was not satisfied with the team of logopedists, psychologists and teachers who followed them.

Faced with this situation of failure that she could not accept, she intensively sought solutions to overcome their “dys” disorders.

She has developed and implemented specific methods and techniques for her “dys” children to succeed in school. She has subsequently followed other children with these disorders with great success.
They all succeeded in their studies.

Regardless of their level of difficulty, his goal was for them to reveal their potential.
Beyond the prejudices, children suffering from “dys” disorders have, in reality, a above-average intelligence.  Theyare great thinkers and creative people who are eager to develop their skills.
It is enough to understand and support them in a specific way, taking into account the emotional side which is very important and especially their sensitivity.

School and academic requirements cannot be adapted to their level. It is up to the dyslexic to adapt to the system and to do so, they must find out how they function and develop useful and effective compensatory strategies.

At Benk, we specialize in helping children – and adults – with learning disabilities : dyslexia, dysorthography, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia…, ADHD (attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity), memory and concentration disorders.

At Benk, we are learning specialists and help dys children develop better techniques and tools to learn more effectively.  Wework on organization, motivation and memorization as well as self-development in order to achieve all their goals. Self-confidence, managing emotions and progressing with a strong mind are keys to success.

The needs and expectations of the learners are clearly defined during an initial comprehensive assessment, during which Yasmina Benkhettab takes into account the personal, family and school environment, in order to define a learning profile and customized solutions.
