What We Offer
Clinical Services
EDAI is an organization dedicated to neurodevelopment and mental health that has been providing clinical services for infants, children, adolescents, and families for more than 15 years. We operate four clinical centers in Barcelona and Madrid, under contracts to manage early intervention services with the Department of Social Rights of the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Regional Ministry of Social Policies and Family Affairs of the Community of Madrid.
We have led clinical and social projects in collaboration with the Barcelona City Council, the Madrid City Council, and the LaCaixa Foundation, among others. Since 2006, we have served over 15,000 children and families. Our multidisciplinary team consists of 40 professionals, including pediatric neurologists, neuropsychologists, psychotherapists, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, psychomotor therapists, and social workers.
Training
The EDAI School, in collaboration with its clinical professionals and international partners, offers specialized training in neurodevelopment and mental health. Our courses provide innovative content aimed at promoting evidence-based practices. We aim to help improve the skills of professionals in the health, social, and education sectors, as well as those working in clinical services and families. We are guided by innovation, and our priority is to make resources more accessible to families and professionals.
We promote a culture of knowledge sharing with the goal of improving the quality of care in the field of neurodevelopment and child and adolescent mental health, and we are committed to offering high-quality, relevant, and practical educational content for professionals interested in deepening their understanding and skills in this critical field.
Research and Innovation
At EDAI, innovation and research are at the heart of what we do.

Our steadfast commitment to the evidence-based model reinforces our clinical services, ensuring they are both up-to-date and effective. We proudly support and allocate resources to various scientific projects—whether they are integrated into our clinical services, such as ROM (Routine Monitoring of Outcomes) and certain clinical effectiveness studies.
Our global recognition is reflected in initiatives such as the EDAI R&D Awards at the EDAI International Conference and our participation in international conferences where we share our achievements and knowledge. In this way, we strive for continuous improvement in the services we provide and aim to make a significant contribution in our area of expertise: Neurodevelopment and Mental Health.
