Who we are?

DYS-centrum® Praha is a voluntary independent association of individuals and corporate bodies that are connected with specific learning disabilities matters. Our activities are based on a long tradition of specific learning disabilities (SLD) re-education and assessment in the Czech Republic and also follow foreign “good practice” models.

DYS-centrum® was established on February 2nd 1995 as a civic organization. It has its own statutes and focuses on help to children and adolescents with specific learning disabilities and/or AD(H)D, their parents, and adults with specific learning disabilities and/or AD(H)D.

DYS-centrum® Praha cooperates with a number of specialists including psychologists, (special) educators, speech therapists, neurologists, psychiatrists, and paediatricians, who treat clients with specific learning disabilities. They either participate in different problem solving situations or lead various educational activities organized by DYS-centrum®.

DYS-centrum’s activities are also supported by its members. They are specialists who work with children with specific learning disabilities and/or AD(H)D (e.g. teachers, special educators, psychologists, speech therapists, social workers etc.) and parents of children with specific learning disabilities and/or AD(H)D.

DYS-centrum® Praha is also a member of DYS-centrum Association, which connects similar organizations throughout the whole country. There are currently seven centres at different parts of The Czech Republic, which work either independently or they are linked with an psychological and educational counselling centre or a school (DYS-centrum® Praha is the largest and oldest of them).
