Our best multidisciplinary team formed by psychologists, psychiatrists, psychopedagogues, speech therapists, physiotherapists and neurologists study each case, evaluate each patient and prepare a specific and an effective treatment plan for your child that will combine the necessary therapies to achieve a proper development of their skills and abilities.
Most patients manage to achieve the goals set out in the treatment plan.
As this is not a treatment intended to cure but to improve your child’s abilities and skills, you can stay in Spain for as long as you consider necessary.
For the first month, our multidisciplinary team will be able to evaluate your child and give you the first suitable guidelines and exercises. Depending on how long you will be here, they will be able to re-evaluate your child and give you new guidelines.
This is a process that will take from a few months to a year.
Treatment itinerary

During this visit, the doctor will open your medical record (for which you will be asked to provide all your medical documentation), perform a physical examination and tell you if any further tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis.
- If it is not necessary and everything is confirmed, you will be told when to come in for evaluation and discuss the treatment plan for your child.
- Once the plan has been explained, you will be able to make appointments for therapy sessions.
After treatment
- When the treatment is finished in Spain, our multidisciplinary team will provide you with a series of guidelines to continue the therapy at home.
