Noah’s Story

Here’s a true story about a little boy who has a whole team cheering him on.

From almost the very beginning of his little life, Noah did things that were out of the ordinary. Instead of walking, he tip-toed. He would rock himself and sometimes spin in circles for long periods of time. Developmentally, he was falling farther and farther behind others. But then, one eventful day, a new opportunity was realized.

Dante's Story

Sometimes, the unexpected can lead to the best thing that ever happens to you!

Dante’s parents had everything planned out… a great marriage, great jobs, and now a great pregnancy. Dante’s diagnosis was unexpected, but now his parents have high expectations and know Dante can meet them at his own pace.

Brighton offers families hope, caring, understanding, education and every bit of it is 100% from their hearts. Our daughter has benefited from ALL of the services that Brighton has to offer. They have become like another family to us and they will always be a part of our lives.
Mary Rudy, Lulu's Mom | Early Childhood Intervention Services
It was nothing short of a miracle. Brighton offered affordable services, in home visits, and the friendliest/most knowledgeable therapists. A weight was lifted off our shoulders and we knew we had a team in place who cared for and about Ishan as much as we did.
Kosha Vriseno, Ishan's Mom | Early Childhood Intervention Services
Brighton has been an absolute blessing for our family. We started with ECI (btw - therapists are amazing too!), not even aware of the day care. Wait listed and bouncing around different programs, our therapist suggested Brighton, and from Day 1 we noticed a tremendous difference compared to the othe...

My daughter currently attends the Lullwood campus. Since she has been at Brighton she has consistently made developmental strides. She is part of their Early Childhood Intervention program and the increased knowledge of their staff about recognizing and addressing developmental delays has been criti...
Ken Thieme | Early Childhood Intervention Services
In January 2019 we took our daughter, Evelyn to a developmental specialist, and she was scoring at 6-8 months developmentally at 15 months old. She recommended that a referral be made to Brighton. After the evaluation, Evelyn was enrolled. We learned a lot from Brighton's Occupational Therapist (OT)...

Our outlook for Rucker has improved 110% since we met Brighton! We are beyond grateful for the services we received.  Rucker can now communicate without frustration and we can understand most of what he says.  Our family is now thriving because of Rucker’s improvements!  
Micah, Rucker’s Mom | Early Childhood Intervention Services
With Brighton's help, I feel like we now have the tools to help Amelia process her sensory issues. Amelia has made such a huge progress in her speaking that her delay no long seems insurmountable. Without these services, we would not be able to communicate with our daughter. Brighton Center's Early ...
Maria Saylor, Amelia's Mom | Early Childhood Intervention Services
Everyone at Brighton has been extremely accommodating. When I'm not comfortable with something or feel that something isn't working, my team of Brighton therapists listen and help me choose a different avenue.
Laura Gueringer, Colin's Mom | Early Childhood Intervention Services
When I thought there wasn't anyone that would be able to help or understand our situation, Brighton's support was there and didn't make me feel like a failure as a parent.
Ashley Mendez, Greyson's Mom | Early Childhood Intervention Services
Brighton gave me hope. My family was at a point of despair and Brighton showed us a huge light at the end of the tunnel.
Amy Lewis, Wayne's Mom | Early Childhood Intervention Services
Since starting therapy with Brighton, Aj has shown significant improvement with the skills and tips provided by his therapy team. Aj is talking more, learning sign language, and walking/running better than ever.
Charlene Garibay, Aj's Mom | Early Childhood Intervention Services
My daughter has gone above and beyond my own expectations, even surprising her therapists a few times! I appreciate Brighton's help in making sure she meets and exceeds her milestones.
Addy DeJesus, Jade's Mom | Early Childhood Intervention Services
My son had achieved a few significant milestones that included rolling over on his own, crawling, and walking. I know these are regular progressions for a child, but he was delayed when it happened. That's when I knew Brighton had made a difference.

Louisa's Story

How do you respond to someone saying your child is 'too much'?

Louisa is a shining light in a world that hasn’t always made it easy for her. Doctors weren’t quite sure of what Lu was experiencing and the local daycare found her needs ‘too much.’ But Lu’s parents found support and help at Brighton, and that’s made all the difference.

Ishan's Story

The difference one 'yes' can make in a child's life is immeasurable.

Ishan was born a little early. His mom’s intuition led her to seek help, but the help wasn’t enough. Every hopeful call to a specialist received a response of ‘no.’ Then, she called Brighton. They said ‘yes,’ and Ishan has thrived ever since.

Mary Rudy, Lulu's Mom | Special Education Support Services
Brighton’s advocate, Girasol, really helped us get our 3 year old son the services he needed from our local school district. After getting incorrect information from the school district about my son’s eligibility for services, Girasol educated not only our family but also the school district. Sh...

The Bowman Family's Story

Having an advocate in your corner really can make all the difference!

Townsend doesn’t have the words to explain what he’s feeling or what help he needs. His parents know he needs an advocate looking out for his best interests. Brighton’s special education consultants’ knowledge of special education laws helped them be the advocates he needs.
