Moving to Costa Rica
An atypical child shouldn't put your life plan on hold.
You're considering Costa Rica, but your child's ADHD, autism or neurodivergence gives you pause. That's understandable, and it's exactly where AtyKids helps.
The real question holding you back
Leaving means giving up a system you spent years learning to navigate: assessments, therapists, school support, trusted professionals. The fear of starting over, alone, in a country you barely know is not irrational. It deserves real answers, not promises.
What actually awaits you in Costa Rica
Costa Rica is no desert for neurodiversity. It's one of Latin America's pioneers on inclusion.
A strong legal framework
Law 7600 (1996) guarantees equal opportunity and inclusive education for people with disabilities.
Trained professionals
Specialized centers, diagnostic clinics (autism, ADHD), psychologists: a real fabric, mostly private, that you need to be able to locate.
A French-speaking community
Several thousand francophones, associations and French schools: you're not starting from nothing.
