Question 13989 — health

Summary

Mrs. Constance de Pélichy draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities, to the difficulties encountered by many families in having the assessments necessary for the diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders in children carried out. These disorders include specific learning disorders (dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysphasia, dysorthography), speech disorder, attention deficit with or without hyperactivity (ADHD), autism spectrum disorders or even certain motor or cognitive development disorders. According to French public health estimates, nearly one in six children have a neurodevelopmental disorder, to varying degrees. Early identification of these disorders constitutes a major challenge to enable appropriate treatment and the implementation of arrangements. appropriate schools. In practice, the diagnosis is often based on carrying out multidisciplinary assessments involving different health professionals, such as speech therapists, psychologists, neuropsychologists, psychomotor therapists or occupational therapists. However, many families are faced with two major difficulties. On the one hand, the waiting times in public or medico-social structures that can carry out these assessments (medical-psychological-pedagogical centers, medical-psychological centers or specialized platforms) are often particularly long. On the other hand, assessments carried out privately - in particular neuropsychological assessments or certain psychomotor assessments - represent a significant cost for families, generally between 200 and 800 euros and are not reimbursed by health insurance. Under these conditions, some families do not have the financial means necessary to quickly access the diagnosis essential for the guidance of their child. This situation creates unequal access to diagnosis and support, particularly penalizing low-income or single-parent families. The MP would therefore like to know if the Government plans to improve the financial support for the necessary assessments for the diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly when they are carried out privately and if measures are planned to strengthen the diagnostic capacities of public structures, in order to reduce waiting times. She also asks him, more broadly, what actions are planned to guarantee equitable access to diagnosis and support for children with neurodevelopmental disorders on the entire territory.
