Core offering

Fundación Cisen operates Colegio Cisen, a chartered special education center (Centro Concertado de Educación Especial) in Madrid that provides personalized and comprehensive education for students aged 3-21 with special educational needs associated with intellectual, physical, and/or sensory disabilities. The school delivers three educational stages (Special Infant Education, Mandatory Basic Education, and Vocational Training Programs for Transition to Adult Life) and supplements classroom teaching with specialized therapeutic departments in speech therapy, physiotherapy, and psychology, as well as adapted activities and the Proyecto +Capacidades wellness initiative.

Product overview

Fundación Cisen operates as a chartered special education center in Madrid, offering a unified educational service rather than a tech product platform. The core offering is the Colegio Cisen - Educación Especial, providing three educational stages (Special Infant Education for ages 3-6, Mandatory Basic Education for ages 6-16, and Vocational Training Programs for ages 17-22). This is complemented by specialized therapeutic departments: Logopedia (speech therapy), Fisioterapia (physical therapy), and Orientación (psychology/guidance). The organization also runs the Proyecto +Capacidades, a wellness and inclusion program incorporating Yoga, Mindfulness, and Psychoneuroimmunology approaches. All services are delivered in-person at the Madrid facility and focus on individualized education and therapy for students with special needs.
