Brighton provides family & community education and developmental services to children (birth to age 22) with disabilities or delays empowering them to achieve their individual potential making them successful in every community.

About Brighton
Brighton is a non-profit organization that consists of four initiatives designed to support families of children with disabilities. Our mission is to support children with disabilities and their families, while educating our community on the importance of inclusion. Inclusion is a buzz word in our field that means that all people, regardless of ability, are valued and included.

Brightons Programs
Brightons largest program is our Early Childhood Intervention program, known as ECI. This is a partially state and federal funded program designed to provided therapies and family support services to children with disabilities and their families. All of the children in this program are between the ages of birth and three. ECI is the state precursor to the special education system in the public schools. All services are provided in the childs natural environment, that is, home, day care, grandmas house, or wherever the child spends the majority of his or her day.

Our second program is Bright Beginnings Child Development Center. Bright Beginnings is an inclusive setting where children of all abilities Play, Learn and Grow together. Our program not only prepares children for school academically, but teaches them tolerance and acceptance of each others differences. This program serves children ages 6 weeks to 5 in child development center.

The third program at Brighton is The Parent Alliance for Learning and Support or PALS program. PALS provides classroom and hands-on training to parents of children with disabilities, young adults with disabilities and community members in the areas of self, IDEA, and general advocacy. All training for parents of children with disabilities and young adults (ages 15-22) with disabilities are provided through curriculums which allow a hands-on learning environment. The training provided through the PALS program works to improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities by providing them a voice so that their own voice can be heard.

The fourth program at Brighton is PMNC which stands for Precious Minds, New Connections. This program is an initiative lead by the Kronkosky Foundation to provide parent training for parents of children with disabilities and delays or with at-risk factors. PMNC provides general parent training in areas like potty training, discipline and other issues that all parents face. PMNC is based on The Nurturing Program curricula and is designed to give parents the tools to develop healthy, nurturing and lasting relationships with their children.
