Tarakos

Tarakos is the autism-focused area of Polo Saronnese di Psicologia, based in Saronno, Italy. Its multidisciplinary team includes clinical pedagogues, developmental psychologists and psychomotor therapists, who support children with autism spectrum disorders through psycho-educational interventions. These interventions draw on the principles and techniques of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), with the aim of developing and improving socially significant behaviors.

Tarakos’s approach focuses on quality of life for both the child and the people involved in their care, particularly family members and school communities. The organization also provides information and resources about autism, including articles on recognizing early signs, understanding the spectrum, dyspraxia and the role of play in child development. Its programs and projects include initiatives such as “Mano nella mano” and “Il gioco è una cosa seria,” alongside its intervention services and ABA offering.

Located on Via Maestri del Lavoro in Saronno, Tarakos shares information about its team, projects and services online. The organization also invites supporters to contribute through donations and membership.
