About

I'm Mariana, specialist in Educational Psychology and Speech Therapy

I've spent more than six years working with children and teenagers in Managua. My work focuses on the evaluation and intervention of learning, language, and speech difficulties, accompanying each patient in the development of communication, comprehension, and expression.

I design personalized strategies to help build skills like reading, writing, math, and fine motor coordination. Every plan starts with an initial evaluation and is adapted to the child's age, pace, and individual needs.
