Bright Futures ABA

10/07/2025

At Bright Futures ABA, we’re celebrating all the amazing ways our learners communicate. Every voice matters whether spoken, signed, or shared through an AAC device!

AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) gives many of our clients a way to express their thoughts, needs, and personalities. It’s not just technology but more of bridge to connection, confidence, and independence.

Through ABA therapy, we help children learn to use their AAC devices effectively and independently. By focusing on communication goals that are meaningful to each child, we work on:
Building confidence in using their device
Expanding vocabulary and communication across settings
Strengthening social interactions with peers and family
Encouraging independence in expressing their wants and needs

This month and every month, we celebrate the power of communication in all its forms. Everyone deserves to be heard and we’re here to help make that happen. 💛

Happy National Autism Acceptance Month! The month of April is dedicated to giving a voice to individuals with autism and accepting autism as a natural part of the human experience. This month is not just about raising awareness of what autism is, but also addressing the stigmas surrounding autism, the challenges individuals with autism face, and providing support and acceptance. Diversity is something to be celebrated, accepted, and respected, not discriminated. When choosing inclusion, we foster a space where neurodiversity is embraced and everyone has the ability to thrive.

Today is BCBA Appreciation Day! Our BCBAs work tirelessly every day to create specialized behavior plans and provide care for each of our clients. We are incredibly proud of their hard work, knowledge, and dedication to their jobs. Their love for their job and their clients always shines through in everything they do. We are so grateful for our amazing BCBAs today and every day for everything they do because without them, Bright Futures wouldn’t be the same.

We recently installed a new play set for our kiddos and they are LOVING it! Let's hope for no more snow after this week so we can go out and continue enjoying it.

Not only is having a play set fun, it also gives the kids a chance to work on sharing, taking turns, and gross motor skills such as climbing, swinging, and sliding! Who said you can't have fun while learning?!

We hope everyone is having a wonderful week! For this week's Therapy Thursday we explain what PECS are and why they are a helpful and effective means of communication, especially for some of our kiddos!
