Bright Futures ABA

My son made great progress during his time at Bright Futures Aba Center.

My son has been attending Bright Futures ABA Therapy since July of last year after he was diagnosed with autism. He struggles with developmental delay and behavioral problems, including physical aggression, property damage, inappropriate attention seeking and elopement. From the beginning, the owner went above and beyond with communication and to help me get him started with the program. I immediately trusted him and understood he was knowledgeable in his field. After starting full time (Monday-Friday 8:30-4:00!), my son and our whole family have learned, changed and adapted our habits to practice ABA in our daily lives. Beyond that, we have bonded with the staff, namely the original BCBA. She meets with my son’s dad and I every month, or more as needed, to discuss his progress and interventions we use at home. She has attended IEP meetings with us and acted as an advocate for our son. We have grown so close with her and trust her judgement in every aspect of his life. We get daily written reports on his morning and afternoon sessions, each of which he is always matched with his own therapist for 1:1 attention. Our BCBA is now helping us prepare our son for kindergarten next year. Bright Futures is expanding for a larger client base, which is amazing for our community. Most ABA facilities in this area have very lengthy waitlists. Now, with 3 BCBAs and 2 clinics adjoining in Mariner’s Plaza, they are able to accommodate more clients. The care of each child is highly individualized, based on their placement on the spectrum and age. Our goal for our son is to phase ABA out over the next year or so as he hopefully integrates into public school. ABA is a process, but it works. I can’t imagine sending my son to school without the tools he has learned at Bright Futures. It’ll break my heart when we don’t need them any more, because I will miss them! But I know the day will come because I see the progress he’s made. It’s setting a foundation for his lifetime in how to adapt and function with socially acceptable behaviors. Plus, it’s teaching us how to parent him. I don’t know were we’d be without their guidance. I have absolute faith that they will continue to help us all learn and grow until we’ve achieved the success we’re working towards.

I highly recommend this place for anyone experiencing behavioral issues with their kiddos this place has been life changing for me and my son they are like extended family and genuinely love the kids and work they do it’s hard to trust people with your kids but with them I know he’s in good hands at all times it was a blessing to find them if you guys see this thank you guys‼️

The therapists and owner truly care about the kids and want them to succeed in every aspect of their life. The owner is actively involved in parent training, spends time with all the kids and always thinks of ways to help them reach their goals! My kids love going there and have made so much progress!

We’ve had a great experience for our son at Bright Futures ABA! Marcus, co-owner and BCBA, is very communicative and truly cares about the kids. My sons 1-1 therapist was carefully selected to meet his needs. We have monthly parent training meetings to keep up to date on strategies and progress as well as daily notes that are sent home in his backpack. I know that my son is safe and well taken care of. He has also made tremendous progress in reducing self-injurious behaviors, communicating using his speech generating device, and transitioning to new environments. Highly recommend!

All ABA is NOT the same I’m so glad I found this place! My kiddo has made major improvements. From parent meetings to an actual log in to track progress and see what my kiddo has been up to and what goals they are working towards. Check them out if you haven’t! They go above in searching and keeping great therapist to help the kids succeed!
