Comme je vous l’ai dit dans un précédent article, les psychomotriciens travaillent en collaboration avec d’autres professionnels pour accompagner vos enfants. Cependant, il est parfois difficile pour vous de savoir vers quel professionnel vous orienter en première intention. C’est pourquoi, nous avons essayé de regrouper les observations qui peuvent vous amener à consulter tel ou tel professionnel de soins :

As I mentioned in a previous article, psychomotor therapists work collaboratively with other professionals to support your children. However, it can sometimes be challenging for you to know which professional to approach first. Therefore, we have tried to compile observations that may guide you in consulting a particular healthcare professional:

1. Psychomotrician:

• If there are concerns about your child’s motor skills, coordination, and overall physical development.
• If your child experiences difficulties in activities that require movement and coordination.

1. Occupational Therapist:

• If your child struggles with activities of daily living, such as dressing, feeding, or grooming.
• If there are concerns about fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, or sensory processing.

1. Speech Therapist:

• If your child has difficulties with speech and language development.
• If there are concerns about articulation, fluency, or comprehension in communication.

1. Psychologist:

• If your child exhibits behavioral or emotional challenges.
• If there are concerns about cognitive development, learning difficulties, or social interactions.

1. Pediatrician:

• If you have general health concerns or questions about your child’s growth and development.

1. Educational Specialist:

• If there are concerns related to academic performance and learning difficulties.

Remember, it’s often beneficial to start with a general practitioner or pediatrician who can then provide referrals to the appropriate specialists based on the observed needs and challenges of your child.
