Creative Processes and Children With a Neurodeveloppement Disorder

Study of Creative Processes in Children Aged 6 to 12 With a Neurodeveloppement Disorder

Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are associated with diverse cognitive profiles, including creative abilities that remain poorly documented. Studying creative processes in children helps to deepen our understanding of cognitive and developmental functioning in NDDs and to explore the development of more appropriate and inclusive assessment and support tools

Once consent has been obtained, the assessments are carried out within the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Department at Robert-Debré Hospital.

The verbal and figural tests will be administered by a neuropsychologist or a trained doctor, following a standardised procedure:

• AUT (verbal)
• Ocsai-D
• LEGO building task
• Paediatric ICAA parent questionnaire

Inclusion Criteria:

• Children aged 6 to 12 years
• Prior inclusion in one of the existing clinical cohorts
• No objection from those with parental authority
• Consent from the participant, who must have read and understood the information leaflet
• No acute malnutrition or acute medical condition

Exclusion Criteria:

• Acute malnutrition or ongoing parenteral nutrition
• Acute intercurrent medical condition
