Miami Mom Collective, Miami’s Premier Parenting Resource, is excited to announce our Autism Resource Guide!
At Miami Mom Collective, we have a special place in our hearts for moms of children with Autism. We know and love many of them, and see how their families need special support to navigate the unique situations they face.
We’ve put together our Autism Resource Guide to connect families with local businesses across Miami who work toward the same goals of setting up children with Autism for success. It is a joy to connect you with these partners who can come alongside you in your motherhood journey.
If you’ve benefitted from an Autism Resource in the city, please drop it in the comments below! We’d love to see you encouraging and equipping each other by sharing what’s been beneficial for you.
*As always, please do your due diligence when researching resources for your children.*

Piece By Piece Behavioral Therapy
At Piece By Piece Behavioral Therapy, we provide individualized ABA services for neurodivergent children in a fun, supportive environment.

Gordon School is a nurturing community where children from infancy through middle school thrive academically, socially, and spiritually. Rooted in Jewish values, Gordon fosters curiosity, creativity, and compassion through strong academics, meaningful traditions, and inclusive programs. With dedicated teachers and supportive families, Gordon inspires confident learners and caring leaders.
Unlike most ABA providers, I personally deliver 1:1 therapy as a BCBA—an uncommon and highly effective approach. I work directly with children in home, school, and community settings, while also training parents. This ensures specialized, consistent, and individualized care that accelerates progress and empowers families.

We focus on accessibility with no waitlists and no out-of-pocket costs for families. Our mission is to empower children with autism to thrive at home, in school, and in the community.
At Grove Wellness Kids, we help Miami families uncover the “why” behind their child’s health challenges. Through advanced testing, personalized treatment plans, and holistic functional medicine, we address root causes—not just symptoms—supporting gut health, behavior, development, and long-term wellness so children can thrive naturally.
