El sonido de la hierba al crecer is an autism education and support platform founded by Ana M.ª Rodríguez Méndez, a special education teacher who has shared experiences and resources with families and professionals since 2008. Inspired by her journey alongside her son, the brand promotes understanding, respect for neurodiversity, and practical support that helps each person progress at their own pace. Its guidance covers areas including play, early development, language, socialization, cognitive and sensory skills, emotions, and personal autonomy.

The website offers specialist services, books, workshops, online courses, and a shop featuring educational resources. Its flagship course provides ongoing access to 17 modules, more than 400 videos, downloadable practical content, and around 1,000 detailed activities and ready-to-use materials. The course is presented as a practical, step-by-step resource and carries a stated 737-hour certificate with recognition from Germany’s Institut für Autismusforschung Hans E. Kehrer (IFA). A blog shares ideas and experiences, while the brand also promotes awareness and collaboration to help make useful stimulation and resources more accessible.
