Mabel

Hawaii on Mar 2026

I worked with Alexa for my son when he was turning four. At the time, we were living in Germany and he was attending school there, but things had gotten really hard-he got a kick out of the school, and they didn’t want him anymore. Alexa provided occupational therapy and also guided us as parents to better understand his very high ADHD, dyspraxia, and behavior challenges. She met with us often-about three times a week for around a year-taught us activities we could do at home, and even came with me to the playground to show me how to support him around other kids so he could feel safe and more regulated. She helped us truly understand how he sees the world and what actually helps him with self-control. One of the most heartbreaking parts for me was having to leave her behind when we moved back to the States. Now that we’re back, we’ve been reaching out for new therapies, and we haven’t found anyone like Alexa. She’s been, by far, the best professional who has worked with my son so far. The price felt fair for what we got-it is what it costs. And if I could pay more, I would pay more, because there’s no price for the value of that kind of help for your child. She literally changed our life, and she was truly life-changing for my husband and me.

Stuttgart, Germany on Mar 2026

I hired Alexa for occupational therapy and behavioral health support for our son as he was entering school. She met with us to make sure our goals were aligned, built a comprehensive plan that was completely personalized and took time with us as parents so we knew how to support him. Because of that, we went from barely being able for him to finish a school day, to exceeding grade expectations academically. It was transformative, and she was always on time for sessions, with very reasonable feedback time. Price felt fair, honestly for what you're getting it’s a steal, and we miss her. I wish we could have taken her with us when we moved.

Sonia

Chicago on Mar 2026

I met Alexa through my son’s therapeutic school when he was about 3-4, and she was wonderful with his occupational therapy. During COVID we switched to virtual and she taught me techniques to do at home, so I was able to learn from her too. Occupational therapy really helped my son. She was a constant for us over the years, very accommodating with schedule changes, kind and patient, and has so much experience. I even felt lucky to get her services for the price I was paying, and honestly anybody who gets to work with her would be really lucky.

Frequently Asked Questions

What expats want to know before hiring special educational services in Madrid.

Are there English-speaking special educational services in Madrid?
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 Madrid?
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 Madrid?
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 Spanish 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 Spanish?
In Spanish, special educational services are usually called apoyo 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 Madrid?
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.
