Our Approach
Evidence-based ABA therapy delivered with clinical precision and human warmth.
Polishing the Brightwork
In nautical terms, "brightwork" refers to the polished metal fixtures on a ship—the brass, chrome, and steel that shine when properly cared for. It takes consistent effort, the right techniques, and patience to reveal the brilliance beneath.
At Brightwork ABA, we believe every child has innate brilliance waiting to be revealed. Our job isn't to change who they are—it's to polish the brightwork, using evidence-based methods to help them develop skills, build confidence, and shine in their own unique way.
Strengths-Based
Build on existing skills and interests to create meaningful growth.
Naturalistic
Learning happens in natural environments through play and daily routines.
Individualized
Every program is unique, designed around your child's specific needs.
Family-Centered
Parents are partners, equipped with tools to support their child's journey.
What Sets Us Apart
Brightwork isn't just another ABA provider. Here's what makes us different.
Clinical Warmth
Professional expertise without the sterile coldness. Every session combines evidence-based methods with genuine compassion.
Family as Co-Captain
Parents aren't passengers—they're co-captains. We equip families with the tools and knowledge to support progress at home.
Individualized Plans
No cookie-cutter approaches. Every program is designed around your child's unique strengths, needs, and interests.
Data-Driven Goals
Progress tracked systematically, goals adjusted dynamically, and outcomes measured objectively.
Grounded in Science
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the gold standard for autism intervention, backed by decades of peer-reviewed research.
Our BCBAs stay current with the latest evidence, attending conferences, completing continuing education, and implementing best practices that have been proven effective.
But evidence-based doesn't mean one-size-fits-all. We adapt methodologies to fit your child's unique learning style, interests, and family context.
Our Methods Include:
- Natural Environment Teaching (NET)
- Discrete Trial Training (DTT) when appropriate
- Positive Behavior Support
- Functional Communication Training
- Social Skills Development
- Parent Training & Collaboration
