Nutrition and Neurodivergence

At Clínica ART, we understand that your relationship with food can differ based on how you perceive, process, and experience the world. Our guidance respects your neurodiversity, aiming to care for your physical and emotional health without impositions, judgment, or one-size-fits-all models.

Our Nutrition and Neurodivergence service is designed to provide comprehensive support for neurodivergent individuals of all ages. We adapt nutrition to your nutritional, sensory, cognitive, and emotional needs, promoting autonomy, safety, and quality of life, while addressing potential eating challenges and fostering healthy habits.
