One for Autism in San Antonio, Texas offers many therapies for autism that together help children make a great deal of progress.

This article describes an autism center called "One for Autism" that serves 180 children. The center is based on seven pillars: Passion + Hope + Support + Faith + Opportunity + Belief + Teamwork = Success. The center is run by Olga Vasquez-Silva and provides many one-on-one therapies such as behavioral therapy (Applied Behavior Analysis), occupational therapy, and speech therapy. The center targets the behaviors first so that the children are then able to learn. Thus, One for Autism is a one-stop center that makes life easier for families with autism.
