WHO WE ARE

LIVES THAT BECOME STORIES

Despite all the challenges, an ASD diagnosis cannot — and should not — be a defining sentence limiting a child's life. With this conviction, Priorit was born over 20 years ago in Brazil, with the purpose of transforming not just the lives of children and adolescents with ASD, but of the entire family.

WHY CHOOSE INSTITUTO PRIORIT?

STORIES THAT BECOME METHODOLOGY

With nearly 20 years of practice in Brazil, Priorit has developed a methodology based on a transdisciplinary approach, where professionals from different fields — such as psychology, speech therapy, occupational therapy and other neurodevelopmental specialties — work in an integrated way and in continuous dialogue.

Rather than each therapy operating in isolation, the team builds a single personalised therapeutic plan, defined from an initial joint assessment and continuously adjusted to each patient's progress.

This model enables a holistic understanding of each person and promotes more consistent interventions, fostering development, autonomy and quality of life for individuals and their families.

Individual therapies are tailored to the specific needs of each child. In these sessions, the focus is on developing cognitive, emotional, motor and communication skills in an intensive and targeted manner.

WHAT FAMILIES SAY

METHODOLOGY THAT TRANSFORMS FAMILIES

Over 20 years transforming lives in Brazil. Now, the same care also in Cascais, Portugal.

I discovered Priorit at a very difficult time, when Thomas was going through a crisis. We didn't know what he had; at the time, he hadn't yet received an autism diagnosis. Priorit not only showed us the way, but also taught us that it is possible to live a full and happy life being autistic. I am forever grateful to all the wonderful professionals who welcomed us and continue to support us to this day!

I can sum up my life and my daughter Luísa's life as before and after Instituto Priorit! All the behavioural, emotional and social progress was built through the multidisciplinary team. The skill and tireless dedication of each professional has made and will continue to make all the difference in building a healthy and inclusive life.

Melyssa started at Priorit when she was 3 years and 4 months old, still in nappies. In 6 months she made more progress than in a whole year of other therapies. Today, at 15, I can see all her growth and maturity, as well as the support that we, atypical parents, also receive.

Gigi was an "apathetic" baby... it was hard to get her to notice others, activities... to focus on herself. Everyone involved in her little life can see how much she has changed! How much she has progressed in these months.

Through group therapy, observing his friends' development, João was able to acquire communication skills he didn't have before.

A welcoming environment that provides tranquillity, peace and security. A place of growth, of new beginnings, of joy and lightness, that transforms, that flourishes, that builds and makes dreams come true.
