There's one reason we're all here...

AT BRIGHTON,
WE’RE HERE FOR THE KIDS.

Special Education Support Services Team

Brighton's Special Education Support Services team helps parents of children ages 3-8 with 1-on-1 counseling to understand and access special education and support services for their child within the public school system. We review evaluations, individual education plans (IEP), and attend ARD meetings with the your child's school.
