Asun Llerda Barberà

I work in the School Learning Disorders Unit (UTAE) at the SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital, where I accompany children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders. I carry out assessments, diagnoses and interventions adapted to each case, always taking into account not only the difficulties, but also the strengths and environment of each child. I coordinate closely with families and schools because I believe that teamwork makes a difference.

I am passionate about accompanying children in their growth, their challenges and their unique way of looking at the world. I understand neuropsychology as a tool to connect with people, understand their needs and help them shine. Preventing, empowering, giving tools and creating support networks is, for me, the best way to take care of mental health from childhood onwards. My workis based on an individualised approach that takes into account not only the symptoms, but also the emotional, family and school context of each child.
