What we do
Early Intervention
From 6 months to 4 years of age Our program is designed to work with the infant in four relevant areas of human development: social-affective, communication, motor, and cognitive
Special Education
Education is a fundamental right of all people and to make this effective it demands the guarantee that all children and young adults have access to a quality education with equal opportunities. This includes all children and young adults with or without disabilities.
School Inclusion

Instituto Neurologico de Guatemala
Their History
During the 60s people with disabilities were totally excluded from society, and for this reason, a group of parents, enthusiastic and committed, came together around their friendship and determination to find a better future for children with intellectual disabilities.Neurological Institute of Guatemala was founded.
The Institute’s population gradually increased, and at the end of that year, 44 students now made up the educational community.
In those days, there were still no interventions and educational services available for children with special needs in Guatemala, and the Institute became the pioneer organization in Guatemala.

EducatorThis experience has been incredible. I have worked in the Institute as academic director since 2017, this journey hasn't been easy but being part of their lives and their progress is my reward. Before working here I never thought that disability was so close to us, it could be a family member, a friend or some that we love. Thats why is so important to me to help the families and the students, treating them with inclusion and respect.
