When she was 2 years old, Isabella was diagnosed with autism after she had suddenly stopped speaking. Since then, her mother has been taking her to the Autism program at the Nicklaus Children’s Dan Marino Outpatient Center in Weston, Florida, for treatment including Aquatic Therapy.
Aquatic Therapy utilizes the properties of water coupled with traditional therapy techniques to provide comprehensive intervention. Aquatic Therapy is used as a medium to treat children on a one on one basis and is designed specifically for the child’s individual needs.
