Meet Bryan Tolon Portuondo, a remarkable young boy whose journey has been filled with growth, discovery, and resilience. Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) at the tender age of 2 to 3 years old, Bryan’s family first sought a diagnosis due to concerns about his behavior and delayed speech. His parents wanted to understand what was happening and ensure he received the support he needed to thrive.

The diagnosis was an emotional time, especially for Bryan’s mom. The family experienced moments of fear and uncertainty but decided to move forward with determination. They extensively researched their options and found the right support at the right time—joining us for ABA therapy. Over the past five years, their decision has proven to be a pivotal moment in Bryan’s journey.

In the beginning, Bryan faced challenges with explosive behaviors and frustration due to difficulties in communicating. However, within just a year of starting ABA therapy, the changes were profound. His behavior improved drastically, and his speech began to blossom. Bryan’s parents also learned valuable skills to better handle challenging moments, empowering them as a family.

Today, Bryan is thriving, and his family is overjoyed with the progress he has made. They’ve expressed their gratitude for the support and partnership we’ve shared in his journey. Together, we’ve made an incredible difference, and they are proud of the strides Bryan has taken.

Bryan is a vibrant and adventurous boy with a love for travel. He has visited places like Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Texas, Tennessee, the Carolinas, and even enjoyed a cruise! Spending time with cousins and family brings him great joy, and his excitement for exploring new destinations knows no bounds.

When it comes to hobbies, Bryan has a passion for music. Whether he’s playing music, singing, or enjoying games like Singing Monsters, his creative energy shines through. He’s also a fan of the pool and fishing—activities that let him relax and connect with nature.

As for his favorite foods, Bryan has a big appetite for steak, chicken nuggets, and French fries. These little things bring him so much happiness!

We’re honored to have been part of Bryan’s story and celebrate his incredible progress and bright future.
