The Problem

Parents of neurodivergent children in Portugal face a fragmented, opaque system when trying to find specialized therapists. The SNS (Portuguese public health) has waiting lists of 20,000+ people for mental health consultations, with some priority patients exceeding the legally guaranteed maximum response times. Private options exist but are scattered across dozens of individual clinic websites, Google Maps listings, and word-of-mouth recommendations.

There is no single Portuguese platform where a parent can:

  • Search for therapists by specialty (ADHD, ASD, dyslexia, speech therapy, occupational therapy)
  • Filter by location, availability, price, language, and approach
  • Read verified parent reviews
  • Book appointments directly
  • Access resources and community support while waiting for their child's diagnosis or therapy
