Support children

MultiLinguAbilites strive to support children's development through individual and social support, and empower families with education and functional strategies to incorporate into their home and daily life.

Create Ways

Our goal is to support the development and learning of children in a holistic and harmonious way with their unique strengths and abilities, and promote inclusion and respect for cultural and neurological diversity.

Works

The challenges faced by families, schools, and community life in providing support for the development of children integrating their language, cultural background, and neurodiversity shape MultiLinguAbilites' holistic and collaborative approach. We strive to understand the unique needs and challenges of each family, school, and community and work together to find innovative and effective solutions.

Focusing on

MultiLinguAbilites operates from a strengths-based Neurodiversity paradigm. This means that we recognize and value the diversity of ways of thinking, learning, and communicating of each child. Instead of focusing on what may be considered "deficiencies" or "disabilities", we work with children and their families to develop their unique strengths and skills and support their development and growth over time. In addition, we promote the inclusion and participation of all children in school and community life.

Culture Background

Based on the needs of the family and child according to their language and cultural background, we provide individualized and personalized support. We recognize that each family and child is unique, and therefore we focus our efforts on providing support that is tailored to their individual needs and strengths. We work with families and children to identify their learning and development goals and develop personalized action plans to help achieve those goals. In addition, we consider the culture and language of the family when providing support and promote inclusion and respect for cultural diversity.

Collaborative and Holistic

We collaborate with families and communities to create adapted ways and tools to support children's development and learning. We strive to understand the needs and challenges of each family and community and work together to find creative and effective solutions. In addition, we promote the active participation of families and communities in the learning process and in decision-making that affects their children and their environments. We believe that collaboration and teamwork are key to the success and well-being of children and their families.
