Thirty children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) living within the territorial scope of Ambito S5—covering Salerno and Pellezzano—gain access to specialized aquatic therapy following an official municipal announcement. The multisystem water therapy, known locally as Terapia Multisistemica in Acqua (TMA), utilizes aquatic environments as a facilitative setting to support emotional, sensory, motor, and relational development within personalized care plans.
Applications for the program opened on September 25 and close on October 4 at 23:59. Submissions are handled exclusively online through the social services portal of Ambito S5 using SPID or CIE credentials. The therapeutic intervention period runs from October 2026 through May 2027, focusing on fostering autonomy, socialization, and integration for participating minors.

Therapeutic Goals and Structure
The TMA method incorporates specific clinical and relational frameworks designed for neurodivergent children.
Individualized project paths ensure that each minor receives targeted interventions tailored to their developmental profile. The program actively monitors social integration milestones, aiming to bridge clinical therapy with everyday interpersonal environments during the eight-month operational window spanning late 2026 and mid-2027.
