Bright Feats Northeast Florida - Jacksonville

Bright Feats Northeast Florida - Jacksonville Connecting Northeast Florida special needs families with community services. Johns, Putnam, & Flagler County. My name is Anna. No such luck.

Bright Feats Jacksonville serves the Northeast Florida Region which includes Nassau, Duval, Clay, St. I am a local special needs parent with 2 amazing children. My son is diagnosed with ASD and mild CP and my daughter, ADHD. When my son was an infant, my husband and I were told that our beautiful boy would most likely never walk and have a very low quality of life. In that moment I decided, challe

nge accepted! My son never looked back and I have made it my mission to give him every opportunity to meet his highest potential. Turns out, his potential is beyond my wildest dreams. The world of special needs is difficult to navigate. This is compounded by a lack of access to comprehensive information. In my experience, finding resource information is difficult and time consuming. That search for information led me to Bright Feats. I found a copy of Bright Feats in an Ormond Beach ABA office. I was blown away that a resource full of all the information I spend every second of my free time trying to search out, existed. I immediately searched their website for Jacksonville, Saint Augustine, or Palm Coast. I was awestruck and impressed with the gold mine of information I had stumbled upon. Before I left the parking lot that day, I had emailed Bright Feats making my case for why we needed them in northeast Florida. They needed no convincing, Jacksonville was already on their vision board. That email opened up a world of possibilities and placed this labor of love directly in my path. Bright Feats mission is to serve families like my own, by connecting them to the services and community resources available to support their needs. This publication and platform is a tool to empower families, strengthen our community, support our ESE departments, and help great services grow and maintain so that they may serve more families. I am honored and eager to support this mission and our community.

🏊‍♂️SWIM VOUCHERS ARE OPEN!
The Florida swim voucher is now open!

During a recent survey that I put out to the community, 70% of families of children with
disabilities had no idea that this was an option. There are still parameters of who is eligible, however, this year because of the legislative advocacy by many and the support of legislators like Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith, Senator Clay Yarborough, Rep Kim Kendall, Representative Anna V. Eskamani and others passionate about drowning prevention, the voucher now goes to age 7 (previously age 4)

If your child meets the following criteria, please please, go to the link below and apply for the voucher, there’s also a list of voucher approved swim schools on that page.

VOUCHER ELIGIBILITY

- Proof of income (gross family income of no more than 200% of the federal poverty guidelines)
- Proof of Florida residency
- Child’s date of birth (only children ages 1-7 at the time of application are eligible)
- Lessons must begin within 180 days from date of voucher issuance

We would LOVE to see expansion of the voucher and will continue to advocate for ALL children to have access to swim lessons.
