Cognisciences
The cogniscience tools were co-developed by teachers, inspectors, doctors, and researchers specializing in child development at the Pierre Mendès France University in Grenoble. They primarily enable the screening of written language disorders (dyslexia). All of these tools are available free of charge on the Grenoble Academy website. To facilitate your research, we describe them below.
