WHY THIS PROGRAM?
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.
