When a child or teenager bursts into tears, rips up their homework, or shouts «I’m stupid, everyone hates me!» after a gentle correction, they are often experiencing Deficient Emotional Self-Regulation (DESR) and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) linked to AuDHD.
A growing number of American, Canadian, and European families in Medellín (El Poblado / Llanogrande) and Cartagena choose homeschooling, worldschooling, or boutique micro-schools for their neurodivergent children. Here is how our Intensive TRAZOS Program partners with homeschooling families.
Many expat families live in beach towns like Santa Marta, Minca, or Palomino, or in the Coffee Axis (Pereira, Armenia, Manizales) where no English-speaking ADOS-2 specialist exists. Our hybrid telehealth + 48-hour in-person route solves the logistics seamlessly.
In the US, Canada, and the UK, parents of 18-month-old toddlers are routinely placed on 1-to-2-year waitlists just to get an initial ADOS-2 evaluation—watching their child’s peak neuroplasticity window slip away. With direct flights of 2.5 to 5 hours to Cartagena and Medellín, families can complete our 4-Phase English Evaluation in a single week.
For expat, diplomatic, and multinational families living in Bocagrande, Castillogrande, Centro Histórico, Getsemaní, Manga, Crespo, or Zona Norte / Serena del Mar, Casa Scarlett is Cartagena’s premier center for English ADOS-2 diagnostics and intensive ABA/ESDM support.
Located right in the heart of El Poblado at Edificio Torre Almagrán (Cra. 43A # 19-17, Office 1003), PsicoKids & Teens® serves expat and international families across Medellín, Envigado, Laureles, Sabaneta, and the Eastern Highlands (Llanogrande / Rionegro).
Whether your family carries an international expat policy (Cigna Global, Bupa, Allianz, Aetna) or Colombian Medicina Prepagada / EPS, having properly coded DSM-5-TR / ICD-11 clinical reports and official DIAN invoices is key to reimbursement and coverage.
Developmental pediatrics research proves that when a parent senses something atypical in their toddler’s eye contact, gestures, or speech, they are right over 85% of the time. Here is how objective clinical data turns family debate into united action.
Many parents receive a one-page table from uncertified clinics showing «SA = 11, RRB = 4» without any explanation of what those acronyms mean or how they differ from DSM-5 Levels 1, 2, and 3. Here is how our 15-page 4-Phase Report makes every detail crystal clear.
Parents often worry before their appointment: «What if my toddler is shy today, refuses to sit at a table, or has a meltdown—will that ruin the ADOS-2?» Here is why the ADOS-2 feels like play, not a school exam.
