Pedagogical centre in Madrid
Specialised in ADHD, neurodiversity and learning
Understand in order to support
I support children and their families in understanding how each child learns, offering respectful, individualised guidance inspired by Montessori pedagogy and coordinated with the family and school.
An individualised approach
Understand before intervening
The aim is not simply to address a difficulty, but to understand the child as a whole: how they learn, their strengths, and the environment they need to build autonomy, confidence and wellbeing.
Understand
Identify needs, strengths and useful strategies through psychopedagogy and a respectful perspective.
Support
Build personalised support in coordination with the family, school and other professionals when needed.
“Every child deserves to be understood before being judged, and supported from their strengths.”

The environment supports too
Spaces designed for independent action
Order, accessibility and appropriate materials are part of the support process. It is not only about what is learned, but also about creating conditions that encourage curiosity, autonomy and confidence.
How I work
Support that begins with observation and continues through teamwork
Learning and development do not happen in isolation. Support is therefore built around the child, the family and, where appropriate, the school and other professionals.
Listen
Begin with the family’s concerns and the context surrounding the child.
Observe
Understand the child’s profile, developmental stage, strengths and needs.
Personalise
Design strategies and approaches tailored to each child, without rigid formulas.
Coordinate
Work with the family and, when needed, with the school and other professionals.
