ISMILE School for Autism
ISMILE, which cleverly stands for Institute for Special Minds Interacting in Learning Environment, is a nonprofit outreach program in Miami Springs that strives to help children with autism discover their true abilities. It was created in response to the large demand for effective programs in South Florida helping parents with the expense of quality therapies.
“We started out five years ago with just four kids and we had up to 12 at one point and now have 10,” said ISMILE executive director Juliana Schaffer. “We’re very grateful to the folks here at Grace Lutheran who have been so generous to share their facilities with us and extremely indebted to Mr. Dominguez, who has offered up his running talents to help us raise much-needed funding.”
