💙 Parent Voices: They Never Gave Up on Milo

Brian and his wife had already been through it all. Therapy programs, school transitions, behavioral plans — each one ending in disappointment or disruption. Their son Milo faced big challenges, and every time things got tough, it felt like the same story: someone would pull away. Another call. Another closed door.

So when they enrolled Milo at Creating Brighter Futures, Brian was hopeful… but guarded.

He admits that for the first year, he expected the call. The one where they’d say, “It’s not working.” But it never came.

Instead, Creating Brighter Futures stayed in it with them — through the hard days, the setbacks, and the behavioral hurdles. They didn’t flinch. They didn’t walk away. They kept showing up, adapting, supporting Milo in a way no one else had.

Brian was especially moved by the team’s follow-through — not just in therapy, but beyond it. Jessica and her staff didn’t just work with Milo, they worked for him — creating detailed school transition plans, coordinating with educators, and sticking with him until he was truly ready to take the next step.

And it worked.

By the time Milo graduated from the program, he was thriving. Brian saw it in the way Milo interacted with others, in the strategies he’d learned, and in the confidence he carried into school. Even today, Milo talks about wanting to come back — because for him, Creating Brighter Futures wasn’t just a therapy center. It was a place he felt safe, supported, and understood.

Looking back, Brian says the thing he appreciated most was simple: they never gave up on his son.
