We provide individualized training and support to enable each child to develop to his or her fullest potential. We work with parents and children from all over the world, both through intensive programs at our Florida location and through home visits worldwide, as well as through telephone and internet consultations. Our programs are tailored to the specific needs of the child. We teach parents how to increase their child’s language, play skills, social skills, academic skills, self-help skills and more. Playfulness, spontaneity and enjoyment are hallmarks of our approach, which enables children to feel loved, to enjoy the company of others and to grow developmentally.
With Growing Minds, children and parents receive the services of one of the most experienced consultants in the field of autism today. Founder-Director Steven Wertz, BCBA, has 29 years experience working individually with over a thousand individuals across the range of the autism spectrum. Stefanie Barenblat, M.Ed., BCBA, brings an additional 16 years of hands-on experience with autism. The benefits of this experience cannot be over-stated.
We teach parents of children on the autism spectrum the tools and the know-how to support their children’s development and education with scientifically proven, evidence-based methods, provided within relationships based on love, acceptance and enjoyment.
