At Brighthouse, we specialize in the use of effective evidence-based practices that emphasize the collaboration between the professional, client, and family. Our center offers unique services that support an individual with developmental differences and their family from the initial diagnostic phase through late adolescence. We strive to offer safe, valid, compassionate, and instructive practices that foster knowledge and an ability to thrive. We aspire to help individuals and families by creating a central place that is positive, honest, and caring. A multidisciplinary and multicultural setting assists in the delivery of quality services that focus on education and generalization of skills to the home, school, and other environments.
