Welcome to Santiago & Friends!

We are excited you are here! Join us on this amazing journey to provide culturally- and linguistically-sensitive autism services to families in Central Florida!

Programs

alphabet-soupFinding the right program for your child with Autism can feel like a never ending game of Alphabet Soup. ABA. IEP. ASD. SI, OT…. as you know, the list goes on and on. At Santiago & Friends, we hope to be your anchor in a sea of uncertainties. If nothing else, we always promise to serve you and your family with a smile and helping hand. After all, who else would you turn to for help? Family and friends of course!

At Santiago & Friends, we believe that not one program or service can do it all. Every child and family is unique. For this reason, we are committed to a holistic approach to service for clients and their families.  Think of Santiago & Friends as a one-stop-shop on your family’s Autism journey. Santiago & Friends provides the following services*:

  • ABA Therapy
  • Speech Therapy
  • OT
  • Music Therapy
  • Art Therapy
  • Yoga
  • Social Skills Groups
  • Parent Training

Once your family’s needs are assessed, our team of amazing therapists will work together with you to draw up a treatment plan that focuses on developmentally appropriate goals. Current IEP plans are useful in helping set these goals . These goals are not set in stone and will change as your child progresses in treatment.

Through your child’s individualized plan, therapists will emphasize functional skills and behaviors that promote independence and achieve success. ABA will be utilized as the core of all treatment plans to help achieve desired goals, supported by other services.

*If a service is full, contact us to be added to the wait list.
