Cascais on May 2026
I found her responsive, professional, encouraging, supportive and reassuring during my education therapy sessions in Cascais. I highly highly recommend. She was outstanding and caring, always perfectly on time and reliable, and the service felt worth every euro. Overall I had an excellent experience.

I've had a positive experience working with Cecile. She creates a safe, non-judgmental space and has a thoughtful, insightful approach. Our sessions have helped me gain clarity and make some progress. The price is reasonable for the quality of care provided.

I hired Rebecca to help my son with ADHD who's in his first year of the IB. She comes in twice a week for about half an hour to set a study plan, keep him on top of his work, organize his papers so everything's in the right place, and she's amazing at holding him accountable. She's psychologically very clued in, gives him tools and tricks, he responds so well to her and loves working with her, and she even helped him build better relationships with his teachers. She's on the expensive side, but for me she's worth it and I've been very impressed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What expats want to know before hiring special educational services in Lisbon.
Are there English-speaking special educational services in Lisbon?
Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.
What should I check before hiring special educational services in Lisbon?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.
What should I avoid when hiring special educational services in Lisbon?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I explain what I need if my Portuguese is limited?
A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.
How do you say special educational services in Portuguese?
In Portuguese, special educational services are usually called apoio educativo especial. That is the word to search for or to ask a neighbour, though many professionals here are used to the English term too.
How do I find special educational services I can trust in Lisbon?
Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real expat experience, not who paid the most.
