Creating Brighter Futures provides individualized ABA therapy for children and teens ages 2 to 18 with autism and other developmental disabilities, and we welcome families from across the county line.

Pinckney Community Schools and Livingston County Services

Pinckney children attend Pinckney Community Schools. In Livingston County, the Livingston Educational Service Agency supports early childhood special education for ages 3 to 5 and Early On, the free statewide early intervention program for infants and toddlers. LESA's speech, physical, and occupational therapists can also serve preschoolers who are not enrolled in a preschool program.

When your child has an IEP, we help you understand the plan and prepare for meetings so therapy goals and school goals support each other.
