The FLA mobilizes to communicate, inform, raise awareness
The FLA, founded in 1998, brings together nearly 40 associations specializing in the field of specific language disorders and learning, in particular dyslexia, dysphasia, dyspraxia.
The law of 11 February 2005 gave new impetus to the FLA by recognizing cognitive disorders. It entered the Committee of Understanding of associations representing disabled people and parents of disabled children in 2005, then was appointed by the Minister Delegate for Persons with Disabilities to sit on the CNCPH (National Consultative Council for Persons with Disabilities).
The active participation of the FLA in these bodies as well as its participation in numerous working groups, in particular in the CNSA (National Solidarity Fund for Autonomy) or in the Permanent Group of the association Droit au Savoir, gives it a new Its responsibilities have increased: the FLA must step up its communication action with parents, disabled people and professionals with great rigor.
In 2006, the FLA therefore decided to launch three major projects:
• the constitution of a scientific committee
• the creation and edition of an information brochure intended for MDPH
• the organization of a “national day of DYS ”In partnership with APAJH on 10 10 2007.
