    This thesis, based on the systematization of experiences, focuses on the professional practice of a Special Educator in her role as a Child Development Specialist, providing developmental therapy to children at risk of acquiring a disability; specifically, children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the New Jersey Early Intervention program (NJEIS) in Hudson County. Through the systematization of the professional's experience, we aim to analyze how early intervention is implemented for children at risk and/or with ASD through developmental therapy, evaluating the therapeutic and educational strategies employed, the progress made by the children during the process, and the involvement of families in the intervention. During the systematization of the experience, we adopted a hermeneutic approach that facilitated a deep understanding of the realities experienced during the professional journey. For this purpose, we selected two specific case studies of children with ASD, “Sergio” and “Matias.” We utilized field notes, structured interviews, and semi-structured interviews as tools to collect the necessary information. The findings from this study allowed us to confirm the significance of early intervention in the lives of children with ASD. Additionally, it enabled us to appreciate how the therapist successfully implemented pedagogical and therapeutic strategies, taking into account the sociocultural context of each family and the individual needs of each child, as well as analyzing the families’ participation throughout the process and its impact on the intervention.
