I discovered Priorit at a very difficult time, when Thomas was going through a crisis. We didn't know what he had; at the time, he had not yet received an autism diagnosis. Priorit not only showed us the way, but also taught us that it is possible to live a full and happy life as an autistic person. I am eternally grateful to all the wonderful professionals who welcomed us and continue to welcome us to this day!

WHO WE ARE
LIVES THAT BECOME STORIES
Despite all the difficulties, an ASD diagnosis cannot — and must not — be a sentence that limits a child's life. With this conviction, Priorit was born more than 20 years ago in Brazil, with the purpose of transforming not only the lives of children and adolescents with ASD, but also of the entire family.
WHY CHOOSE INSTITUTO PRIORIT?
STORIES THAT BECOME METHODOLOGY
With nearly 20 years of work in Brazil, Priorit has developed a methodology based on a transdisciplinary approach, in which professionals from different fields — such as psychology, speech therapy, occupational therapy and other neurodevelopment specialties — work in an integrated way and in constant dialogue.
Instead of each therapy working in isolation, the team builds a single personalized therapeutic plan, defined from a joint initial assessment and continuously adjusted to each patient's progress.
This model makes it possible to understand each person holistically and to deliver more consistent interventions, fostering the development, autonomy and quality of life of individuals and their families.
Individual therapies are personalized according to the specific needs of each child. In these sessions, the focus is on developing cognitive, emotional, motor and communication skills in an intensive and targeted way.

WHAT FAMILIES SAY
A METHODOLOGY THAT TRANSFORMS FAMILIES
Transforming lives in Brazil for more than 20 years.
I sum up my life and my daughter Luísa's life as before and after Instituto Priorit! Every advance and every behavioral, emotional and social achievement came from the multidisciplinary team. The competence and tireless dedication of each professional has made and will continue to make all the difference in building a healthy and inclusive life.
Melyssa started at Priorit at 3 years and 4 months, still in diapers. In 6 months she progressed more than in 1 year of other therapies. Today, at 15, I see all of her growth and maturity, as well as the support that we, atypical parents, also receive.
Gigi was an "apathetic" baby... it was hard to get her to notice others, the activities... to focus on her. Everyone who takes part in her little life in some way notices how much she has changed! How much she has progressed in these months.
With the group therapies, watching how his friends developed, João was able to acquire communication tools he didn't have before.
A welcoming environment that provides calm, peace and security. A place of growth, of new beginnings, of joy and lightness, that transforms, that blossoms, that builds and makes dreams come true.
I would like to express my gratitude to Priorit for everything you have done for Marcelo! Every achievement of his is a victory for the whole team.
