Development and Disability (dvhp)

Research team - ULR 4072

Description

We apply developmental theories to study the typical child and certain neurodevelopmental disorders, but also propose innovative solutions in response to the societal challenges related to the vulnerability and inclusion of people with disabilities. We work on 3 research topics: 1) The "Number" topic relates to the developmental processes underlying numerical cognition and the emergence of calculation disorders (dyscalculia) in children. 2) The "Space" topic covers the typical and atypical development of spatial learning. The goal of our research is to identify the processes and strategies used to orient oneself in the space of wayfinding (spatial navigation). 3) The "Socio-emotional factors" topic addresses the socio-emotional development of children in relation to their different environmental contexts.
