GROWING SINCE 2014

Our Project Difference program trains teachers about learning differences including dyslexia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and talented and gifted students. The aim is to allow them to spot and support students who learn in different ways.

The Project Difference program offers two phases:

Initial training

We provide training for teachers every September and October. Expert speakers introduce schools to learning differences at the start of the academic year.

Continuous education

The Early Intervention Response system allows us to provide weekly and continuous support to students with learning differences. A team of psychologists and specialist educational psychologists give teachers strategies they can implement in their classroom.

Our schools network

We work with over 90 schools throughout Spain.
