About me
My name is Paola Lazo
My name is Paola Lazo, and I am a music-therapist and family therapist specialized in supporting autistic children and their families through a compassionate, holistic, and neurodiversity-affirming approach.
For many years, I have worked closely with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), developmental differences, sensory processing challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, and communication needs, accompanying families through different stages of their journey with empathy, respect, and practical support.
My professional approach integrates:
- Clinical Music Therapy
- Emotional and Family Support
- Sensory Integration Strategies
- Therapeutic Play
- Visual and Structured Supports
- Parent Guidance and Education
I deeply believe that every child communicates in their own unique way, and that families deserve understanding, guidance, and emotional support without judgment.
Through AutismoKids, my goal is to create a safe and supportive space where families can access therapeutic resources, consultations, educational materials, and practical tools that help improve daily life and strengthen connection with their children.
My work has an international perspective, supporting both Spanish-speaking and English-speaking families from different cultural backgrounds through online guidance, therapeutic resources, and educational projects focused on autism and child development.
AutismoKids was born from the desire to combine professional knowledge with genuine human connection, offering families not only information, but also accompaniment, hope, and practical support.
Services
Therapeutic support specialized in Autism and neurodevelopment for bilingual family support in Spanish and English.
I work from a human, respectful, and integrative approach, supporting children and their families through tailored therapeutic tools adapted to each individual need. My goal is to create safe spaces where each child can develop communication, autonomy, emotional regulation, and connection with their environment.
Parent Consultation
In this space, we offer advice to parents of children with autism to help them organise effective routines, perform meaningful activities and improve communication with their little ones. Our goal is to understand your needs and foster a solid bond. Together, we will explore strategies that facilitate understanding and enjoyment in each shared moment.
Music-therapy
Music is a powerful tool for connection, expression, and development. Through personalized music therapy sessions, I focus on areas such as:
-
verbal and non-verbal communication
-
emotional regulation
-
attention and concentration
-
social interaction
-
emotional expression
-
shared play and bonding
Sensory Support
Many autistic children experience sensory processing challenges that affect behaviour, emotions, and daily life. I use adapted strategies to support:
-
sensory regulation
-
reduction of anxiety and overload
-
tolerance to change
-
self-regulation skills
-
daily wellbeing
Emotional & Behavioural Support
An autism diagnosis also transforms family life. For this reason, I offer guidance and support spaces for parents and caregivers, helping them better understand their child’s needs and strengthen family wellbeing.
