Becky is wonderful! She is truly the best case manager I have ever had!

Amy has been wonderful! She understands my child's disability as well as our family needs (like respite). She is very attentive, responsive and available whenever we need her. She has been a blessing. We tell her this but please let her know it again!
Cat was fantastic! She helped us and our son Clay tremendously. We can't thank her enough!

"Our services with Bright Start have been great. And Erica is amazing! She loves our son and has been a support for me from day one. Erica goes above and beyond to make sure we have everything we need for our child. I am very thankful for her and Bright Start services."
"My wife and I just wanted to express how grateful we are to have had Courtney serve our daughter this last year or so. She always showed up, she was always on time, and she was always communicative, accommodating, thorough, and professional in every way. And connecting us with The Care Center was truly a blessing. We will all miss Courtney!"
"Wesley is just amazing. My son adores him. He even knows what day he comes and asks about him just about all day until he gets there. He has come such a long way thanks to Wesley."
We can't thank Jessica enough. Our child has come so far with the help of their services. A year ago our daughter was barely speaking at 2 years old and now at three, she is full of conversations. Thank you so much!!

Our Speech Therapist, Natasha is compassionate and takes the time to explain assessment results, as well as answers our questions. She is quick to offer specific recommendations for dealing with my granddaughter's feeding difficulties and demonstrates them so we can follow up.

We absolutely love our EI Rebecca! My son runs to greet her and loves all over her when she is here. She has really helped our family realize how our son learns. She also gives me great advice and makes me feel so confident in my abilities as a parent. As a person who thrives off of validation and words of encouragement, Rebecca has helped me exponentially. We look forward to our sessions with her every week!”

Susan has been nothing short of amazing! She is so helpful, always willing to go the extra mile, and is so invested in my daughter. I wish I could keep her all the time. I am beyond satisfied with her services as her EI.

EARLY INTERVENTION
Early Intervention is a family-directed program providing intensive developmental instruction for parents/caregivers and their children with special needs.
We assist families in helping children reach developmental milestones by building on the strengths of the family and child. This is done through home visits and individualized family training.
CASE MANAGEMENT
Our Case Managers at Bright Start are ready to assist. We can help you connect to services and resources in the community for your loved one.
The mission of a Case Manager is to assist people with disabilities from three years of age through the life span. Case Managers work with individuals and their families in meeting needs, pursuing possibilities, and achieving life goals.
