Dide is an online system that offers a complete service to help teachers with the observation, knowledge, and empowerment of aspects of their students’ learning and development.<\/span><\/h2>\n

The objective of the DIDE method is for children to successfully take advantage of their educational stage and for none of them to be excluded due to LEARNING, DEVELOPMENTAL, OR BEHAVIORAL DIFFICULTIES that are not identified in time.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Currently, we have excellent guidance counselors who, together with teachers, tutors, and other specialists (PT, speech therapists, etc.), try to do their best so that minors can maximize their potential. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, they encounter realities starting with excessive student ratios<\/strong>, “cases escape us” – say the counselors – , continuing because the valid psychological tests have the main function of technical evaluation for diagnosis and treatment and must be carried out by specific professionals. It is not viable for a pedagogue, psychologist, or educational psychologist to administer psychological tests, neither due to time constraints nor the cost of obtaining a general early detection. <\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s give an approximate practical example<\/strong> of exploring 50 children in the Infant-Primary stage, the most suitable ages for early detection<\/strong>, if we carry out a series of specific Adaptation-Behavior, Reading-Writing, Intelligence-Development, School-Infant Aptitudes, Neuropsychological tests, we would need an average of 180 hours to carry them out and a cost of over \u20ac1000, without counting the correction time, report preparation, or communication with families.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paola de la Cruz,<\/strong> considered Best Teacher in Spain 2020<\/strong> in Early Childhood Education<\/strong> (Educa Abanca Awards) and pedagogical director of the Dino School Early Childhood Schools, highlighted the importance of knowing students in depth to offer each one what they need “Education can no longer afford to ensure the total success of each and every student. We cannot spend an entire year to find out that one student is shy, another is hyperactive, and yet another has family problems. Dide allows us from minute zero to know each and every one of our students, and that is fantastic! Because we must provide everything they need from moment zero. <\/span><\/p>\n

The best pedagogical innovation we can apply is to return to those simple things, those invisible things that allow us to work on that BEING, on their emotional needs.  Tools like dide allow us from moment zero to know the profiles and who that child is through markers that will tell us each and every one of the needs, not only special educational needs, but also high capacities.  Paola de la Cruz (Best teacher in Spain 2020, early childhood education).<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What is NOT dide?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Preconceived ideas about what is already known in detection and guidance can generate doubts among professionals about the new information. Therefore, we are going to start by mentioning what dide is NOT<\/strong>:  <\/span><\/p>\n
