The students will have :
- to take down behavioural indicators showing these difficulties, by observation, interview or situation scenario.
- to analyse the specific needs of these persons
- to put forward some hypotheses about their functioning difficulties
With the help of methodological tools and approaches and of concepts proposed in the various courses of this pre-orientation.
