Bright Feats’ mission is to help families find the resources they need. Through Bright Feats, every family in Central Florida can have accessible and up-to-date information. We print 120,000 copies of publications for the Greater Orlando market each year.
Bright Feats is proud to partner with public schools. Half of our publications go home with ESE students in Orange, Seminole, Osceola and Lake County Public Schools. The rest of our publications are distributed by providers that support families with children with special needs.
We are expanding our mission to provide training and employment opportunities for individuals with unique abilities. With our VIPworks programs, we train and employ adults with autism and other special needs to assist with putting together the publications for Bright Feats, create social posts for providers and input data for directory! We’re fully funded by advertising from our participating providers, so don’t forget to tell them Bright Feats sent you!
Thank you for the opportunity to serve you and your loved ones!
