Divertea

What Divertea does

Divertea (legal name: Asociación para la Ayuda a Personas con TEA y sus Familias) is a non-profit association founded circa 2012 in Cáceres, Extremadura, Spain, dedicated to providing comprehensive therapeutic, educational, and social support services to individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (TEA) and other neurodevelopmental disorders, along with their families. Operating from a single center at Calle Ana Mariscal 9 in Cáceres (with an adjacent expansion announced in 2025), the organization delivers a multi-disciplinary service portfolio including ABA-based intervention, sensory integration therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, psychology, early intervention (Atención Temprana, 10 slots), functional habilitation (75 slots), specialized educational support, family accompaniment, social integration programs, labor orientation, and adult-focused autonomy and inclusion workshops.

Underlying Divertea's service model are clinical methodologies — principally Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and sensory integration therapy — delivered by a small specialist team (~9 employees, with personnel costs of €405,000 representing 85.6% of €473,000 total expenditure in fiscal 2025). The organization is also a regional knowledge node, running an annual training day on neurodevelopmental disorders (11 editions by 2024), the 1st International Congress on Autism and Neurodiversity (2022), and accredited professional courses (ABA methodology, official Leisure Monitor certification homologated by the Instituto de Juventud de Extremadura).

Divertea's revenue model is heavily grant-dependent: €505,000 in total 2025 income is split between €305,000 in public institutional funding (Junta de Extremadura through SEPAD and Consejería de Salud y Servicios Sociales, Diputación de Cáceres, IMAS), €35,000 in private donations and member fees, and €165,000 in self-generated revenue from training events, professional certification courses, and community fundraising activities (solidarity marches, padel tournaments, charity concerts). Customer acquisition is community-led, combining word-of-mouth family referrals, government health-system referrals (60 treatments referred via SEPAD in 2022), and event-driven outreach. The association is a member of the Federación Autismo Extremadura.
