OUR HISTORY
The ABRITE Organization designed the Brite Horizons School to address growing needs voiced by Special Education Local Planning Area (SELPA) teams, families, and also recognized within our own school-based consultation and support. ABRITE has worked with our local regional centers and school districts for over 13 years and has supported learners from ages 12 months-22 years in a variety of formats. ABRITE has developed and sustained classrooms and support programs to assist students ranging from tiered supports for general education students to individual and intensive support services for special education students. Most notably, ABRITE developed a collaborative and comprehensive program with Scotts Valley Unified School District (SVUSD) that served students for over 7 years using solely research-based strategies.​​
