Our Story
Founded in 2017 by Itzel Mendez, BCBA, ABAnzamos emerged in response to the critical need for accessible, evidence-based ABA therapy throughout Latin America. After years of working in Miami and training local teams across various Latin American countries, we shifted our focus in 2019 to exclusively serve Puerto Rico. Today, ABAnzamos is one of the leading in-home ABA service providers, delivering personalized, compassionate care to children aged 0-15 in the San Juan metropolitan area.
Our team of BCBAs and RBTs work closely with families to design individualized treatment plans aimed at fostering independence and improving the quality of life for children.
At ABAnzamos, our goal is to support not just children, but also their families, therapists, and the larger community through ABA training, education, and awareness initiatives.
Our Values
At ABAnzamos, we are guided by the following core values:
Assent-Based Practices: We believe that empathy and dignity should be at the forefront when working with clients. We respect each child’s autonomy by incorporating their preferences and choices into their therapy goals.
Transparency: Clear, honest communication is central to our work with clients, colleagues, and partners.
Integrity: We are committed to ethical practice in every aspect of our services.
Accountability: We take responsibility for the quality and outcomes of our therapy services.
Connection: Building meaningful relationships is key to fostering growth and trust.
