Observed sessions are followed by advanced hands-on integration, where clinical observations are reflected upon and translated into each practitioner’s professional context.

The Why
RENEDA was founded by mothers of children with special needs. It emerged from their wish that children would not have to travel abroad to access high-quality neurodevelopmental care. At the same time, they wanted Czech professionals to have the opportunity to receive advanced education at the highest level — in their own language, within their own culture, and in their own professional community.
This program represents another step in building a strong professional network that expands opportunities for both children and practitioners in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
