Early intervention services help young children with disabilities achieve their goals in cognitive, social/emotional, communicative, adaptive, and physical development. Through a team approach, children and their families are given the education, tools, strategies, and services they need to help them reach their maximum potential. Services may include occupational therapy to help an infant learn to hold her bottle, physical therapy to help her learn to roll over, or speech therapy to help her learn to eat. Most early intervention services take place in the home or, in the case of working parents, at childcare facilities in the local community.

What makes Brighton Center different?

• Family-Driven: ECI acknowledges that parents are natural teachers because they know their children best.Parents and/or caregivers are an important part of the interdisciplinary team and goals are written with parent involvement to be functional and a part of the child’s daily routine. ECI is manageable for the parent and we work to help the parent become their child’s biggest advocate.
• Case Management: Every child enrolled in ECI has a case manager assigned to their family who will coordinate services, work with the child’s doctors, and connect the family with appropriate resources and information based on their individual needs.
• Specialized Skills Training (SST): SST is a unique service provided only by ECI. SST supports development across domains with an emphasis on strengthening cognitive skills, positive behavior, and social interactions.

This program is for babies and infants (newborn to 3 years) with disabilities.

The following services are provided at no cost to families regardless of income:

• Evaluation Assessments
• Development of the Indivudual Family Service Plan (IFSP)
• Case Management
• Translation and interpreter services

Parent involvement is the cornerstone of every child’s success. But without the right knowledge and tools, parents might not realize all the opportunities they can help provide to their children to set them up for a successful future. At Brighton, we provide an array of educational sessions that teach parents about the importance of their child’s environment, how to engage in appropriate discipline, effective communication strategies, and how to work with the educational system to ensure your child’s educational needs are being met.

What makes Brighton Center different? Brighton offers a variety of workshops to make the parent the expert – our job is not to advocate for parents but to assist parents in becoming the best advocates for their children. One-of-a-kind program in San Antonio—no one else is doing it.

Brighton Center’s Speech Therapists or speech and language pathologists (SLPs) will work with your child on receptive language (how children process and understand information) and expressive language (how children combine words into phrases and sentences to outwardly communicate). Our San Antonio speech therapy team works with children on verbal and non-verbal language development as well as feeding and swallowing disorders.

Every year the Brighton Center relies on the help of our community members to support our organization and the deserving children that we serve. Whether you want to volunteer for a special event or a "done-in-a-day" project or make an unrestricted contribution it all adds up big for kids in our community!
