What Brightline offers to families in New York: Care for every child starts with a two-step diagnostic evaluation. Step one is an in-depth, 1.5-hour conversation with a Brightline therapist. Step two is a 1-hour follow-up session for evaluation results and care path recommendation. The goal? That you come away holding a care plan you helped create, knowing we truly understand your needs.
