Success Stories

The true impact of our work is best reflected in the words of our clients.

My rent is amazing! Love brighter strides and my team.
Very professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable of the needs of each child.
Works with each family in providing specialized service for their child. Very happy with the progress.
This is one of my unique experiences working on the Bright Stride team. The participation, the love, the perseverance, and the collaboration. You are amazing and I am so lucky to be around you. Seeing the progress of this team's clients has taught me how much of a positive impact we can have on the lives of others. I'm proud of you all. Keep up the good work.
We’re delighted with the ABA services Joshua receives four times a week at home. The therapist, Ms. Angelica, is patient and skilled. Joshua has made steady progress — better following of directions, and calmer transitions. Reviews and communication are consistent and helpful. Highly recommend!
We have really enjoyed working with Brighter Strides. Isaac made the setup process so easy and fast. We got an amazing BCBA from the start and have enjoyed working with her. We've had a few RBTs, one did not mesh well with us and as soon as I voiced that to our BCBA we had a new RBT in less than a week who is amazing and fits us so well. We've worked with a few ABA clinics and Brighter Strides is by far my favorite. I am so grateful to have found a team that truly cares about our family and helping our child.
Absolutely the best services my kiddos and I have been a part. Recommend times 100.
It was a pleasure and great experience working with Brighter Strides ABA! My girls have come a long way since I started.
From the first day I called Brighter Strides, I immediately noticed their attentiveness and kindness. Everything moved very quickly so that my child could start his therapies soon. They are a team of kind people dedicated to their work. They have listened to my concerns about my child's needs and addressed them. I must mention that my son is in excellent hands. He has a wonderful BCBA, Keira, also the great Sam, and above all, the best RBT (Diana) that my child could have. I have complete confidence and peace of mind knowing that my son is in good hands, and that makes me feel calm because I know that my son is doing well and that little by little, positive progress will come thanks to the best team!.
From getting things scheduled to the evaluations everyone has been very professional and kind!
We’ve been receiving in-home therapy services from Brighter Strides for over a year, and our experience has been very positive. Both the supervisor and the therapist have been patient, professional, and genuinely committed to understanding our child’s unique needs. They also respect our preferences as parents, which has made the process feel truly collaborative.

The entire team consistently goes above and beyond to create a supportive and personalized environment. We also appreciate their flexibility with scheduling. While we understand that therapists have their own lives and occasionally need adjustments, which we’re happy to accommodate, it might be a consideration for families who need a more rigid schedule.

Overall, we’re grateful for the care and dedication Brighter Strides has shown our family.
We are so grateful for the incredible care and support our child received at Brighter Strides. Over the course of his time in ABA, we saw tremendous growth in his social skills, communication and emotional regulation. The progress he made was beyond what we hoped for, and it’s been amazing to watch him gain confidence and independence.

A huge part of that success was thanks to the thoughtful and intentional approach of his BCBA. She always made sure he was paired with the RBT who would best support his needs at any given time, and those decisions made a real difference in his experience and progress.

He truly looked forward to going to ABA, and it's bittersweet to see him "graduate." While we're so proud of how far he's come, he’ll definitely miss the friends he made and the positive, supportive environment at Brighter Strides. Thank you for everything — we couldn’t have asked for a better team to walk this journey with us!
I needed in home service and brighter Strides was very responsive and quick to assign my son a therapist. They have a high therapist retention rate and their therapists are good.
Im in the process of registering for ABA therapy for my daughter. The process is smooth and well organized. Hopefull everything fall into place and she can start the therapy. Thank you all for your patient and understanding.
We followed our ABA RBT from a competitor to Brighter Strides a few years ago and they accommodated us through that transition. My son had developed a close relationship with the RBT at the time so we really wanted to continue that relationship. My son was diagnosed with ASD just over 4 years ago and over that time we probably had 7 different RBTs across 3 companies. By far the 3 best RBTs and BCBA that we had for our son were at Brighter Strides. The quality of personnel versus the competition is no comparison! I highly recommend Brighter Strides ABA Therapy.
My son has been at the center for about 7 months, and I couldn’t be happier. Riley, Cynthia, and Caitlin are amazing—dedicated, professional, and always showing so much care in every session. In this time, I’ve seen tremendous progress in my son, which fills me with joy and gratitude. All the staff are so kind and always welcome us with a smile. It’s a place full of commitment, warmth, and love for children! 💛
Professional, compassionate, and reliable. Everything we hoped for in ABA services..
Brighter Strides ABA has been a game-changer for our family.

From day one, their team has gone above and beyond to provide thoughtful, individualized care. The BCBAs are not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive, taking the time to explain each step of the process and truly collaborate with us. The RBTs have been professional, consistent, and caring, building real relationships with our child and helping us see meaningful progress.

Communication is always clear, scheduling has been flexible, and it’s obvious that the staff truly care about the kids and families they work with. We feel lucky to be part of a provider that prioritizes quality, respect, and results.

Highly recommend Brighter Strides to any family looking for ABA services that are both compassionate and effective
My son was with brighter strides for a bit over a year, today he graduated and I can’t sit here and lie and say I don’t feel emotional about not going anymore. If you’re looking for a team that’s loving, caring, patient and want to see your child achieve their goals I would definitely recommend brighter strides. Every single person has been amazing. The communication, the patience, organization they have has really exceeded what I thought how it could be. The way my son asked every day about going to school or about going to see his RBTs I knew he was being cared for as he should. I will forever be grateful to his team on how much they helped him improve in areas he struggled with at the beginning. He went from barely speaking to having conversations, not potty trained to potty trained, speaking his emotions instead of hitting. I don’t have much family out in GA and don’t have the village others have but I can definitely say the way they treated my son felt like they were apart of my village. Thank you so much for everything yall did!
If you’re a parent who has ever walked a hard path with your child’s health—this is for you.
I’ve been through the ups, the downs, the medication trials and tapers, the hospitalizations, the endless school calls, emails, and texts. I’ve felt the pain of isolation, the tears, the depression. I’ve experienced the failure of services that weren’t the right fit, and the heartbreak that comes when nothing seems to work. I’ve felt the physical, verbal, and emotional toll of parenting a child with extreme behavioral needs. I’ve been there, ready to give up with nowhere left to turn.

But I didn’t give up. And I’m writing this today to tell you not to either.

Brighter Strides ABA Therapy has been nothing short of life-changing for our family. Since starting services with them, and more importantly, with the right team, my son has gone from 50 aggressive behaviors in an hour to five or fewer a week. Sometimes even none. That’s not an exaggeration. It’s a testament to the power of the right support, the right medication plan, and the right people.

To Hannah and Kuri, our BCBA and RBT, you have not only changed my son’s life, you have saved my mental health as a parent. You’ve brought peace and hope back into our home. I will forever be indebted to you.

To the parents still in the thick of it: don’t stop advocating. Don’t stop learning. Don’t let anyone make you question how well you know your child. Every gut instinct I followed, every time I pushed back or pressed harder, it paid off. Keep fighting the fight. Be willing to grow and adapt alongside your child. There is always more to learn. And there is help out there that does work, Brighter Strides is proof of that.

ABA therapy, when done right, with the right people, alongside proper medication and parent training, is a game changer. It’s not perfect—but nothing is. And when you’ve been through what we have, even small wins feel like miracles.

Thank you, Brighter Strides. Thank you, Hannah and Kuri. You didn’t just help my son, you saved our family.
There were all so nice to us and explaining everything waiting to start school soon excited thank you
