The "Migs Test"
The Heart of South Florida Behavior
South Florida Behavior isn’t just a therapy provider—it’s a family. Our guiding principle is simple: Would this service be good enough for Miguel? If not, we don’t offer it. Miguel, diagnosed with ASD in 1997, has been the driving force behind our services. Every program we develop is designed to ensure real, meaningful progress—just like the support we envisioned for him.
Today, Miguel remains the heart and inspiration of South Florida Behavior. He even designed our logo, branding, and colors! You’ll often find him at our centers, helping out and connecting with families.

Meet the Founder: Michelle Castaños, BCBA
Michelle Castaños, BCBA, founded South Florida Behavior with a dream of helping families like her own. Inspired by her cousin Miguel, who was diagnosed with autism in 1997, Michelle saw firsthand the challenges families faced in finding quality support. As a 19-year-old college student, she started Peace of Mind Jax, a small respite and recreational company dedicated to providing care for children with autism. What began as a passion project soon grew into something much greater—evolving into South Florida Behavior, an ABA agency committed to empowering individuals with autism and developmental disabilities.
Driven by her love for Miguel and her passion for helping others, Michelle has dedicated her career to ensuring that every child and family receives the support, guidance, and compassion they deserve. She continues to lead South Florida Behavior with the same heart and commitment that started it all.
