We have specialists in clinical psychology, speech therapy, dyslexia and learning disorders. Our teachers are systematically trained to detect and manage different educational needs, and they work with different strategies within the classroom to make teaching more flexible and to use technologies that facilitate access to information. Our goal is to reinforce self-esteem and autonomy and to create inclusive learning environments.
