What ECLG expertisecentrum leren & gedrag does

ECLG expertisecentrum leren & gedrag is a Dutch multidisciplinary mental health and educational expertise center headquartered in Maastricht, operating 22 practice locations across 8+ provinces. Founded in 2011, the organization delivers youth mental health care (Jeugd GGZ), diagnostic and treatment services for severe dyslexia via an exclusive partnership with F&L-methode B.V., IQ testing, speech therapy, and outpatient family/school support. The clinical team spans child and youth psychiatrists, GZ psychologists, orthopedagogues, system therapists, IMH specialists, ACT/EMDR-trained regiebehandelaren, and speech therapists, with services delivered in practices, schools, and homes.

The company operates three principal product pillars. First, Jeugd GGZ covers ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, trauma (EMDR), behavioral disorders, and eating disorders, delivered through family therapy, systemic approaches, and group treatment. Second, learning services include the licensed F&L behandelprogramma and Taal in Blokjes (TiB) for severe dyslexia, the i-BCB program for emotional regulation in children aged 8-13, BCB Werkgeheugentraining (working memory training), and intelligence testing (WAIS-IV, WISC-V, WPPSI-IV, SON-R, NIO). Third, Leerlingenzorg provides professional development courses for primary and secondary educators, including ACT4School, dyslexia intervention (Grip op dyslexie), language and mathematics coordinator training, and NVO supervision. Sub-brands include i-BCB, ACT4Kids/ACT4School, F&L Behandelmethode, and Grip op Dyslexie.

ECLG's revenue model combines subscription-style municipal Jeugdwet contracts and health insurer Zorgverzekeringswet reimbursements for insured care, unit-priced private services (€55-€920 per session/assessment), professional course fees (€275-€590 per program), and licensing royalties from F&L method distribution (minimum 20 clients per licensee). The company is ISO 9001 (KIWA), NKD, and CRKBO certified. Leadership comprises General Director Luud Preghter and Director of Care & Education Peggy Immenga (Drs., Orthopedagoog-Generalist NVO/SKJ/BIG). The organization is privately held with no disclosed external investors.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Parnassia Groep: The largest mental health care provider in the Netherlands, offering a broad GGZ portfolio including youth care (Youz), addiction care, and specialist psychiatry across many regions. Comparable as the dominant multi-region Dutch GGZ incumbent against which ECLG competes for municipal Jeugdwet contracts and health insurer capacity.

Direct peers

• Karakter: Dutch specialist in child and adolescent psychiatry with multidisciplinary teams and locations across the country. Directly comparable to ECLG because both focus exclusively on youth psychiatric and learning care, deliver via regional practices, and contract with municipalities and health insurers.
• Lumo Groep: Dutch youth and family care organization providing diagnostic, treatment, and ambulatory support services for children and adolescents. Closely comparable to ECLG's Jeugd GGZ and family therapy services, sharing the same Dutch municipal Jeugdwet funding model and referral-driven GTM motion.
• Mentaal Beter: Nationwide Dutch GGZ provider offering both online and in-person mental health treatment for adults and youth. Comparable to ECLG because it competes for the same Dutch health-insurer reimbursed GGZ demand and overlaps in multidisciplinary therapy offerings such as EMDR and ACT.
• TOP Dyslexie: National Dutch provider specialized in severe dyslexia diagnosis and treatment funded under Jeugdwet. Directly comparable to ECLG's severe-dyslexia care line, competing for the same municipal beschikking-funded patient population and the same NKD-certified treatment slots.
• Kenter Jeugd- en Opvoedhulp: Dutch youth and parenting support organization delivering diagnostic, treatment, and ambulatory services for children and families. Comparable to ECLG's system therapy, IMH, and family-focused ambulatory guidance services, with similar municipal contract dynamics.

Emerging players

• iPractice: Hybrid online and offline Dutch GGZ provider with strong digital delivery and locations in multiple cities. Comparable as a competing delivery model for adult and youth GGZ, representing the digital-first direction that could pressure ECLG's clinic-bound model over time.
• ADHDcentraal: Dutch specialist organization focused on ADHD and autism diagnostics and treatment for children and adults. Comparable to ECLG because it directly competes in the same neurodevelopmental assessment and treatment niche that anchors a significant share of ECLG's referrals.
• Lexima: Dutch company providing digital tools, screening instruments, and methodology for reading difficulties and dyslexia in schools. Comparable to ECLG as an adjacent dyslexia ecosystem player; its school-software approach could either complement or compete with ECLG's TiB and Grip op Dyslexie school offerings.

Others

• Bazalt Groep: Dutch educational services and professional development provider focused on primary schools, including specialist training programs. Comparable to ECLG's Leerlingenzorg training division, competing for the same CRKBO-eligible teacher PD budgets and school-implementation contracts.
