The EVAL'ID study aims to demonstrate the value of a multidimensional assessment in accompanying schooling of children with Intellectual Disability. The study will be performed in the Rhône department (France) in children aged from 5 to 13 years with mild to moderate Intellectual Disability , and attending school either at ULIS (Unités Localisées pour l'Inclusion Scolaire, which enables disabled children to attend regular schools), or IME (Instituts Médico-Educatifs, which are special schools mandated to accommodate children and young people with Intellectual Disability at any level of disability). A multidimensional assessment encompasses the assessment of academic, cognitive, behavioral and adaptive skills of the children, with validated and reliable neuropsychological batteries, called ID Kit (Intellectual Deficiency assessment Kit), which includes the following scales : the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children 4th edition (WISC-IV), the Vineland Adaptive Behavioral Scale II, the GECEN rating form (Grille d'Evaluation Comportementale pour Enfants Nisonger, which is the French translation of the Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form), and an academic skills rating form (GEVA-SCO). A comparison of the children neuropsychological profiles according to the type of school they attend, will be perform. The project consists of three phases: * Stage 1: Collection of information from each child records at MDPH (Departmental Administration for Disabled Persons), IME, ULIS schools, including the assessments that were performed, and from a survey of both caregivers and parents regarding their respective perception and knowledge of the child's disability * Stage 2: All the children who were not previously assessed with the ID kit will be further evaluated using these tests. The results of these assessments will be shared with parents and caregivers. * Stage 3: A survey regarding the perception and knowledge of the child's disability will be carried out again among caregivers and parents.

Presence of the ID assessment kit results in the records
The primary outcome measure consists of the presence of the results of the neuropsychological tests included in the ID assessment kit: WISC-IV (IQ), Vineland Adaptive Behavioral Scale II, GECEN rating form, and an academic skills rating form (GEVA-SCO), in the records from the MDPH and the school records (ULIS or IME), and dated from within one year before the latest child orientation decision.
Time frame: within one year before the latest child orientation decision

WISC-IV (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children 4th edition)
The Intellectual Quotient of the patient will be assessed using a Wechsler scale, adapted to the age of the patient (WISC-IV).
Time frame: within one year before the latest child orientation decision
Vineland Adaptive Behavioral Scale II
The Vineland adaptive behavioral scale performed during a semi-structured interview of each child's parents, will allow to assess the adaptive behavior of the child (including communication, daily living skills, socialization, motricity and the global adaptive score).
Time frame: within one year before the latest child orientation decision
GECEN rating form (Grille d'Evaluation Comportementale pour Enfants Nisonger
The GECEN rating form (Grille d'Evaluation Comportementale pour Enfants Nisonger) is the French translation of the Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form and will allow the assessment of behavior disorders including: conduct disorders, anxiety, hyperactivity, automutilation/stereotyped behavior, self-isolation/rituals, sensitivity/susceptibility.
Time frame: within one year before the latest child orientation decision
an academic skills rating form
The academic skills rating form will assess 4 domains: the spoken and the written language, the "discovery of the world", and "being a student".
Time frame: within one year before the latest child orientation decision
Rehabilitation programs
We will record from the MDPH files the type of rehabilitations that the children had at the latest child orientation decision.
Time frame: one year after Day 0
