Testimonials

They trust us, thanks to our results.

We traveled from Madrid to Miami to do a 6-week multidisciplinary program for Alexis to achieve his developmental milestones on time. We have seen spectacular progress in many areas almost from the very first moment. Totally grateful for this opportunity. I really like your work models because everything is integrated in one space and with freedom.

Gustavo Bernaldo, Alexis' father

Excellent service. Surprised at how my son was treated. My son did not want to leave the center. Very professional and great patience.

Nathalya Alarcon, mother of Manuel Kourkounian

We have done the Primitive Reflex Program in person and the changes that my daughter has shown in 40 days are spectacular. She is more focused, her expressive language has improved a lot and her receptive language as well. Super happy with the experience and the therapists who see my daughter. She never wants to leave the center. Recommended for your children to move forward.

Hecyamir Carrillo, Antonella's mother

The experience with Developing Brains has been incredible. A multidisciplinary work. We have seen an improvement in Mateo's level of understanding and connection with the outside world. He has improved physically and nutritionally thanks to all the professionals at the center.

Angel Torres, Mateo's mother

We are very happy with all the progress Andres has made with the therapies and the love that Developing Brains offers us. They are very professional and very prepared in autism issues. I love the Homeschooling service, I have seen a lot of progress and the best thing is that he can do homeschooling and therapies at the same time.
