The Sociedade Portuguesa de Neuropediatria (SPNP) is a Portuguese professional society dedicated to child and adolescent neurology. Founded in 1998, it supports the recognition and development of neuropediatrics as a distinct medical field focused on disorders and dysfunctions of the nervous and muscular systems that appear during childhood or adolescence. The society works to promote, deepen and share knowledge in this specialty, encourage research, cooperate with related organizations in Portugal and abroad, and inform public authorities about the field’s challenges while proposing solutions.

SPNP provides educational resources for families on topics including language delay, headaches, febrile seizures, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, muscular conditions and childhood tics. For healthcare professionals, it offers specialty information, clinical protocols, guidance on participation in clinical trials and research scholarships, alongside the Projeto Lince. The society also organizes professional meetings and postgraduate training, and shares news and updates relevant to pediatric neurology. Through these activities, SPNP serves both families seeking reliable information and professionals advancing care and knowledge in neuropediatrics.
