ABOUT
Get to Know Us and Our Philosophy
Vision:
Brighter Future Academy Foundation
We envision a world where all children are recognized for their individual strengths, not
their deficits, and where all families impacted have access to the service and support
that they need to live their best possible and quality lives. We ensure all our students
reach their full potential, and provide a safe,
secure, motivating, and fun teaching environment. We Achieve This By: • Motivating all
to learn through relevant, reinforcing, and exciting activities in a safe and caring
environment. • Building on self-esteem, empowering all to become valued citizens,
respected, and ensuring equality of opportunity within an inclusive setting. • Working in
close partnership with parents, caregivers, and siblings to ensure consistency of
practice within the school and at home, in partnership with other schools, professional
agencies, and the community. • We provide training and courses for all our staff.
Our mission is to improve the overall quality of life for children and their families who
have been touched by autism, ADHD/ADD, down syndrome, developmental delays, and
other behavior challenges by providing exceptional strength-based child and family
centered therapies and education based on the principles and practices of Applied
behavior analysis and universal learning design. We offer individualized and small
group support so our children can learn to be independent, we help them achieve the
miracles they are capable of. It is our goal to provide the tools which allow these
children and their parents to live a life more integrated into our community.
