The purpose of A Bright Start Therapy is to provide quality care to children that demonstrate difficulty in areas of language, social skills, cognition, as well as fine motor and gross motor skills.
Our Mission
The art of communication is something many of us take for granted. Whether it’s learning your ABC’s, spelling your name, crawling, walking, or simply saying “hello”, we want your voice to be heard. A Bright Start creates a world for children where they feel that they are important in the community.
The concept behind A Bright Start is that every child deserves a bright start, an opportunity where they are able to grow and become the very best version of themselves.
5 percent of U.S. children ages 3-17 have a speech disorder that lasted for a week or longer during the past 12 months.1
Early childhood development encompasses physical, socio emotional, cognitive and motor development between 0-8 years of age. The early years are critical, because this is the period in life when the brain develops most rapidly and has a high capacity for change, and the foundation is laid for health and wellbeing throughout life.
Children who are not reading proficiently by third grade are four times more likely to drop out of school before receiving a high school diploma than those who are proficient readers.

Populations can range from Developmental Delays, Fine/ Gross Motor skills, Receptive/ Expressive Language Delay, Articulation/ Phonological Disorders, as well as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Apraxia, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21), etc.
Our speech-language pathologists are Florida-licensed medical professionals and trained to evaluate, assess, diagnose and treat speech, language, as well as socio-communication deficits and disorders. Speech-Language therapy is used to aide children in their abilities to communicate with others in the community.
Our physical therapists are Florida-licensed medical professionals who are trained to increase mobility in the lower extremities of children who lack gross motor skills. Deficits in gross motor skills can range from riding a bike, walking backwards, skipping, or simply walking in a straight line.
Our Occupational therapists are Florida-licensed medical professionals who are trained to help facilitate deficits in cognition, fine motor coordination, balance, visual perception, and/ or activities of daily living (brushing teeth, learning to tie their shoes, etc.) in children who develop delays in these areas of overall development.
The culture here at A Bright Start keeps in mind that every child that comes through the door is different and may need a different approach that caters to what their specific area of need is.
