The New Mexico Military Institute (NMMI) was established in 1891 as a public military junior college in Roswell, New Mexico. Known as “the West Point of the West,” NMMI operates under the auspices of the State of New Mexico, under a dedicated Board of Regents that reports to the Governor of New Mexico. The school enrolls nearly 1,000 cadets at the junior college and high school levels each year from 45 states, 2 U.S. territories (Puerto Rico and American Samoa), and 35 foreign nations.

Aprendamos Family of Services

Follow

We are a therapist-run organization that began in July of 2005 to serve children and families’ needs through early intervention to what became Aprendamos Intervention Team. Early Intervention services are from ages birth to three. Families came to us with concerns about a lack of resources for their children after the age of three, and so began our Esperanza Children’s Therapy Clinic. Families in our programs also voiced concerns with a profound lack of services for children diagnosed with Autism. So we applied for a NM Department of Health grant to provide ABA therapy to children with Autism which became our fastest growing program - Mariposa Autism Service Center. During this time, families express their need for mental health services. Families who have children with developmental delays and disabilities often experience higher rates of stress, so we started Alegria Family Counseling Clinic. Following these programs, we recognized the need for two grant opportunities to support our families and programs: the Conscious Fathering Program of Southern New Mexico and Cariño Home Visiting Program. Over the years, we’re grown from one building with one speech pathologist and family service coordinator to six facilities and over 250 employees and subcontractors working every day for the children and families in our communities, through families first and families driven growth. Today we have teams with Speech-Language, Occupational, Physical, and Family Therapists. We also have a nurse, nutritionist, family services coordinators, Developmental Instructionists, Infant Massage Therapists, and Pediatric Specialists. Our Mental Health Clinicians specializing in play therapy interventions, MDMR, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and more. Our Autism program has Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Therapists (RBTs). Our team is growing, we value our "A" Players and can't wait to meet you!
