Bright Beginnings is a specialized program dedicated to providing a comprehensive and individualized educational and therapeutic environment for students who have characteristics of or are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This program is housed in a school dedicated to serving students with special education needs. We are committed to fostering academic achievement, communication skills, and positive behavioral development in a highly supported setting.

  • One-to-One Support: Each student receives the support of a dedicated one-to-one paraprofessional throughout the school day.
  • Behavioral Expertise: The program includes a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to design and oversee behavior intervention plans, and a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) to implement daily behavioral strategies.
  • Related Services: Based upon individual need, a full complement of related services is available to be integrated into each student's educational schedule.
