History of DYS-centrum Prague, z. ú.

After the initiative of Prof. Zdeněk Matějček, five respected psychologists and special educators founded DYS-centrum Praha, o. s. A civic association was established to support children with specific learning difficulties and their families.

We obtained accreditation of the Ministry of Education of the Czech Republic. Since then, we have offered dozens of courses, seminars and workshops for teachers, counsellors and other professionals.

We started to organize a regular professional conference and exhibition DYSKORUNKA.

We started publishing our own books and learning tools and we set up an e-shop.

Our target group expanded to include adolescents and adults.

We transformed into "zapsaný ústav".
