Silvia Asensio Piñeiro

I work at the School Learning Disorders Unit (UTAE) of SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital as a child and adolescent neuropsychologist.

I specialise in the diagnosis and intervention of neurodevelopmental disorders such as dyslexia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyscalculia, developmental language disorder (DDD) or autism spectrum disorder (ASD). I work on an individual basis, adapting each process to the specific needs of each child or adolescent, with the aim of enhancing their abilities and promoting their autonomy and self-esteem. I seek a comprehensive and collaborative approach, coordinating with families, schools and other professionals to ensure a coherent and effective intervention.

My vocation stems from a genuine desire to accompany, understand and respond to the needs of each person from a close, human and respectful point of view. I believe in the importance of looking beyond the difficulties and seeing the potential, the capacity and the story behind each child and adolescent. For me, communicative clarity, sensitivity to individual needs and respect for personal rhythms are fundamental pillars in any therapeutic accompaniment process.
