At Sinews we offer a personalized consultation where you can find answers to doubts that you may have over how to educate bilingual/multilingual children. We analyze, in depth, each family´s specific situation, the child´s characteristics, and their environment in order to offer individualized assessment and follow-up.

If interested, all you have to do is simply ask for an appointment through the following form:

The cost of the total program is 300€ that will be paid up-front.

And for those who only want responses to a few particular doubts, there is the possibility to have only one individualized family assessment consultation (without an evaluation of the child, which will not be required to attend the session) where the SINEWS QUESTIONAIRE will be used for multilingual families. We will respond to all of your doubts and design a plan of action.

The cost of the single session is 90€.

Humans begin acquiring skills which are useful for reading and writing much sooner than we think. By the age of 3 we are already laying the foundations which will later allow us to become good readers, and at age 6, we begin to more specifically train these cognitive processes. Therefore, the first warning signs that could indicate a LEARNING DISABILITY arise during pre-school education or on starting primary school.

The good news is that with a proper diagnosis and appropriate, individualised intervention, it is possible to train new and alternative skills and strategies that support the individual to learn in different ways. Fortunately, the world of education is also increasingly paying more attention to diversity, accessibility and the equality of opportunities by making adaptations for the differing needs of the individual student. Due to this, the vast majority of educational centres are open to starting to implement measures which adapt the curriculum to reflect individual needs (for example, providing extra time in exams, editing texts for students with dyslexia).

To be able to benefit from these new adaptions and the training of new and different strategies which replace previously learnt, ineffective and inefficient skills, a firm diagnosis is required from a centre which holds the necessary licences to perform the assessment.

It is normal for children to feel sad, nervous, or afraid sometimes, and all children misbehave or talk back to their parents once in a while. This is developmentally appropriate, and usually is not anything to worry about.
However, children who have mental health problems often experience a lot of emotional distress, family conflict, school failure, violence, problems with friends, and may even have thoughts of suicide.
If your child’s mood and/or behaviors seem to be causing any of these problems, it is a good idea to consult a child psychologist, or psychiatrist who works with children and adolescents.
In addition, some children who have great difficulty learning in school or keeping up with schoolwork may actually have a neurological disorder (such as ADHD or Sensory Integration Disorder) or a learning disability (such as dyslexia) that is preventing them from achieving academic success, in spite of the fact that they have normal or above average intelligence. In this case, it may be necessary to undergo psychoeducational testing in order to figure out what is keeping the child from learning effectively in school.

The type of service that is appropriate for your child depends upon his/her individual needs, and is determined on a case-by-case basis. However, we understand that psychological treatment can often be a big expense for many families.
For this reason, during the first appointment, our clinicians meet only with the parent(s). This allows the clinician to speak openly with the parent(s) about the reason for the consultation without the child present, and it also gives the clinician and parents an opportunity to discuss the various service options and come up with an affordable plan that would best serve the child.
