We had the good fortune of connecting with Daniela Sophia and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Daniela, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
My husband, my daughter and I moved to the US so that my daughter, who is autistic, could do ABA (behavioral therapy) here. Over time we saw that this therapy changed not only our daughter’s life, but ours as well. We decided that we needed to do something for the community so that we could help other autistic children. That’s how Infinite Minds was born.

What should our readers know about your business?
Infinite Minds was born from the shared vision of people whose lives have been touched by Autism and Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) in different ways. We are more than a clinic, we are a community committed to helping each child reach their full potential, based on science, dedication and love.

We believe that every child has infinite potential, and our mission is to provide the tools and support necessary for them to achieve autonomy, independence and quality of life. Our work is based on individualized programs, developed by a highly qualified team, which uses ABA as the main approach to teach essential skills and promote meaningful learning.
At Infinite Minds, our commitment is to the future of our children. We work every day to create a welcoming, structured and efficient environment, where each child can develop their skills, achieve independence and pursue their infinite potential.
