I SMILE is an Institute for Special Minds Interacting in a Learning Environment.
We strive to help children with disabilities discover their true abilities and is given the opportunity to reach their greatest potential.
In response to the large demand for quality effective programs in South Florida, we began the Institute to help parents with young children with Autism.
Early intervention plays an important role, thus we enroll children as young as 2 years old to receive Applied Behavior Analysis services.
Specifically, we offer Verbal Behavior services which research has shown to yielded great results.
The Institute prides itself on the high quality staff as well as the low teacher to student ratio of 2-1.
We foster an environment where children are guided to discovering their abilities through the techniques of Applied Behavior Analysis.
Children follow their individualized program which addressed their particular needs.
