Même pas grave L'échec scolaire ça se soigne

Precocious, unstable, gifted, hyperactive, phobic or depressed. Some children are so agitated that they cannot stay in a classroom. Teachers are at their wit's end. Parents are at a loss. No big deal, says child psychiatrist Dr. Olivier Revol, director of the Center for Children with Learning Difficulties at the Neurological Hospital of Lyon for the past 18 years. Each week he sees children and adolescents from all over the country, all with ?problems in school?. His team of doctors, psychologists and even teachers do a complete medical and psychological testing of each child, with hospitalisation if necessary, to find the cause of his or her difficulties. These can be physiological, psychological or even familial or a combination of all three. But in almost all case a solution can be found. This testimony is a message of hope for all those who, if not first of his class, want a child who at least fits in. It is also an excellent practical guide with the warning signs to watch for before it's too late.
