Study of Creative Processes in Children Aged 6 to 12 With a Neurodeveloppement Disorder

Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are associated with diverse cognitive profiles, including creative abilities that remain poorly documented. Studying creative processes in children helps to deepen our understanding of cognitive and developmental functioning in NDDs and to explore the development of more appropriate and inclusive assessment and support tools
