Clinical Trial: Reading Disability in Children With NF1

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Neuropsychological Characterisation of Cognitive Deficits Involved in Reading Disability in Children With NF1

Brief Summary: A national, multicenter, randomized, transverse clinical trial, estimating the existence of phonological deficits in children with NF1 children compared with control children without NF1 with the same reading level.

Detailed Summary: To determine the phonological and visio -spatial performances at the NF1 children.
Sponsor: University Hospital, Toulouse

Current Primary Outcome: Phonological deficits evaluated by the metaphonological capabilities including a subtraction test and phonemic Acronym test and memory capacity with phonological phonological memory test. [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]

Evaluate whether there is a specificity of phonological deficits in children with NF1 compared with a population of children with the same age and same reading level, taking into account the intellectual level.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: Visual-perceptual performance established from three tests: Test of Identical Forms (Thurstone), Judgment Test of orientation Lines (Benton) and global and partial deferral Tasks (S Valdois). [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]

Studying the correlations between phonological deficits and visio-spatial and literacy skills.


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
