MEEX - La Maison des Enfants Extraordinaires

What MEEX - La Maison des Enfants Extraordinaires does

MEEX - La Maison des Enfants Extraordinaires is a French non-profit association (Loi 1901) founded in October 2016 in Sauve, Gard (Occitanie), operating a multi-disciplinary therapeutic and educational center for children with neurodevelopmental disorders (autism, ADHD, DYS) and learning difficulties, along with their families. Services span three pillars: (1) child therapeutic workshops and vacation programs (e.g., Du PEP'S dans l'écriture, Le foot pour tous.tes, Les Apprentis Jedi judo, Les Maths Extraordinaires, La Classe Extraordinaire, Vacances extraordinaires multi-activités) plus co-located liberal care in occupational therapy, speech therapy, psychomotricity, psychology, sophrology, micro-nutrition, and osteopathy; (2) parent support services including Café-parents discussion groups, MEEX Miam cooking workshops, administrative assistance, and the 'Fonds Coup de Pouce' financial aid fund; and (3) professional training (RMTi, EFT, laterality, online INS modules, PEP'S writing) delivered in-person and online.

The methodological backbone is Neurosensory Integration (INS), taught in France since 2003 by U.S.-trained occupational therapist Isabelle Babington, combined with archaic reflex integration, psychomotricity, and micro-nutrition, structured through the proprietary 'MEEX Neurodevelopment Pyramid' diagnostic framework. The proprietary training platform was separated into Meex Formation (meex-formation.org) in 2025 and carries QUALIOPI certification (N°1900280.3).

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model: roughly 40% from family-paid workshop, camp, consultation, and respite fees (e.g., €245 for the PEP'S 12-session cycle, €180/year for inclusive football, €50/hour for therapeutic coordination, sliding scales via the Fonds Coup de Pouce), and ~60% from external funding — grants (La France s'engage 2024, FSE+ 2024, CCAH co-financing since 2018), corporate foundation support (AG2R La Mondiale, Malakoff Médéric, Solimut, EDF, Crédit Agricole, ENEDIS), and public institutions (CAF and CPAM du Gard, Communauté de Communes du Piémont Cévenol). Distribution combines a single physical site in Sauve, a dedicated e-learning platform, OPCO- and FIF-PL-eligible training registrations, and community/event-driven acquisition (Café-parents, MEEX MIX evenings, regional media).

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• France Autisme: National federation of autism-focused parent associations. Comparable to MEEX on the parent-support and family-accompanagement dimension for families of autistic children, though advocacy-led rather than service-delivery focused.
• Fédération des PEP (Pupilles de l'Enseignement Public): National federation of associations for inclusive education and special-needs accompaniment. MEEX is a documented partner ('Mutual' relationship in partnerships data) collaborating to develop training for school-life assistants; comparable as a federated, multi-territory operator of educational and therapeutic accompaniment for children with disabilities.
• UNAPEI (Union Nationale des Associations de Parents de Personnes Handicapées Mentales): Largest French federation of associations supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Operates adjacent medico-social facilities and parent-support services overlapping with MEEX's mission for families of children with NDDs.

Direct peers

• Centres Médico-Psycho-Pédagogiques (CMPP): Public medico-psycho-pedagogical centers delivering diagnosis and ambulatory care for children with learning, behavioral, and adaptation difficulties. MEEX actually receives family referrals from CMPP Saint Christol les Alès — making CMPPs a direct comp and sometimes a complement to MEEX services.
• Connaissance & Évolution: French training organization specializing in sensory integration, primitive reflexes (RMTi), and neurodevelopmental approaches for therapists. Closest methodology competitor to MEEX Formation — offers overlapping professional curriculum (RMTi, INS-adjacent) for ergotherapists and psychomotor therapists.
• Centres d'Action Médico-Sociale Précoce (CAMSP): Public early-intervention medico-social centers for children 0–6 with developmental risks or disorders. Highly comparable to MEEX on early developmental assessment and multidisciplinary therapy for TNDs, though publicly funded and serving a younger age band.
• SESSAD (Services d'Éducation Spéciale et de Soins à Domicile): Specialized ambulatory services that support children with disabilities in mainstream settings (home, school). Highly comparable to MEEX's multidisciplinary therapy model and similar in integrating OT, psychomotor and speech support for NDDs.

Emerging players

• Mosaïque Santé (intégration neurosensorielle): Smaller French practice focused on neurosensory integration for children. Comparable to MEEX on the core INS methodology and on serving rural/underserved areas; an emerging micro-competitor in the same niche therapy segment.

Others

• Plateformes de Coordination et d'Orientation TND (PCO-TND): Public regional coordination platforms established by French national health authorities to provide early diagnosis and care pathways for children with suspected neurodevelopmental disorders. Not a competitor but a strategic ecosystem partner/threat — they coordinate referrals to providers like MEEX and could absorb demand if capacity expands.

Regional players

• Centre de Rééducation de l'Ouïe et de la Parole (CROP): Specialized pediatric rehabilitation center for hearing and speech disorders, with which MEEX has a documented referral partnership. Highly comparable on multidisciplinary pediatric therapy delivery for sensory and communication-based disabilities in France.
