    • OUR PROGRAMS

    Our programs are directed towards people with intellectual disabilities or autism (babies, children, young adults and adults), with the objective of strengthening their abilities and skills to have a better quality of life.

    We work under the concept of Vital Cycle, which combines the different levels of intervention with supportive services that a person in this condition requires.

    VITAL CYCLE

    The sooner we begin the intervention, the better long term results we will have.
