Chacune définit et décrit l’orthographe, l’écriture et leurs interactions selon son approche. Au regard d’études et de leur domaine d’expertise, les auteures analysent comment l'enfant aborde l'écrit. Elles donnent ainsi des repères au praticien afin d’évaluer les difficultés de chaque patient et le situer dans son rapport à l'orthographe et au graphisme. Elles présentent ensuite le cheminement et les stratégies d’actions à suivre afin de remédier aux problématiques rencontrées par l’enfant et l’adolescent. Cette nouvelle édition permet la mise en place de leviers d’actions pluridisciplinaires dans la résolution des écueils orthographiques et graphiques.
