Emilio Amigo Biography

Emilio Amigo is a clinical psychologist and pioneering figure in treating clients with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). After establishing Amigo Family Counseling in Ohio in 1994, the focus of his practice changed as he began working with more patients with autism and after his nephew was diagnosed with the condition. As a native Cuban who immigrated to the United States with his family at a young age, Amigo was familiar with the experience of feeling different. He drew parallels between his clients' experiences of living with autism and his own journey of adjusting to a new culture.

Amigo realized the treatment approaches at the time focused more on behavior than on developing the whole person. He crafted an innovative therapy program -- Respons*Ability Social Therapy -- centered on group therapy, incorporating unique social engagements for his patients as part of their therapy, such as formal dances, theater performances and Friday game nights. His work garnered attention in his field and Amigo, his clinical staff, and his ASD client were the subjects of the HBO Peabody Award-winning documentary, "How To Dance In Ohio," later spurring a Broadway musical of the same name.
