Our approach
Understanding how each young person learns.
Our work is carried out by a multidisciplinary team made up mainly of primary and secondary school teachers, all trained in orthopedagogy, joined by professionals with complementary skills, notably in sophrology.

Orthopedagogy draws on cognitive neuroscience, cognitive and developmental psychology, education science, didactics and metacognition. It helps us understand the mechanisms involved in learning — attention, memory, comprehension, reasoning, executive functions — in order to identify the obstacles each young person meets and to offer strategies suited to the way they work.
Our knowledge of schools and our experience with students of very different profiles let us build a genuine bridge between scientific knowledge about learning and its practical use. We do not only work on school results: we try to understand how the young person learns, what hinders their learning and which levers we can use.
Orthopedagogical support, combined where relevant with sophrology and emotional-regulation techniques, aims to help the young person know themselves better as a learner, develop effective strategies, strengthen their cognitive functions, regain a sense of competence and confidence in their abilities. The goal is gradually to make them an active player in their own learning and to give meaning back to their schooling and future plans.
AGIR also supports families, especially when children have special educational needs or neurodevelopmental disorders (dyslexia and related disorders, ADHD…), as well as education and support professionals, to foster a better understanding of difficulties and consistent action around the young person.
As a non-profit association (loi 1901), AGIR works for equal opportunities, the prevention of school difficulties and the fight against dropout. Supported by institutional partners and public funding, the association acts in the general interest and with accessibility in mind, not as a commercial business.
Sophrology
Learning to manage emotions, focus and stress. Self-confidence is the first key to succeeding.
Cognitive science
Attention, memorisation, comprehension, reasoning: our practitioners rely on mental gestures to pull students out of the red zone.
Our method
Four steps to bounce back.
A simple, reassuring path, from the first conversation to measured success.
1
Understand
An assessment of how the student thinks, listening to their family and their school.
2
Equip
Tailored learning strategies: attention, memorisation, working methods.
3
Reassure
Sophrology and self-confidence, hand in hand with teachers and parents.
4
Succeed
Goals reached, autonomy regained — and follow-up that measures it over time.
What we do
Four ways to support each student’s success.
From individual support to professional training, every programme answers a real need on the ground.
We support everyone who orbits a student’s success.

Journeys that come back to life.
“The orthopedagogy support did me a lot of good, and it’s thanks to it that I didn’t leave school. I was discouraged in year 11. I was supported all year and found a direction that suits me.”
