Background and Experiences
Brittany Lopez is a certified special education teacher and Professional Educational Therapist with extensive experience supporting children with diverse learning needs. She holds a master’s degree in Special Education and her professional experience includes in-home family support, autism therapy centers, and over a decade in school settings.
In 2020, she founded Brighter Futures Educational Therapy to support children and families navigating learning differences and developmental disabilities. Her private practice supports students of all ages and abilities, but specializes in those students with significant language barriers to their education.
Brittany is also personally connected to the disability community as the sibling of an adult with IDD and the mother of a child with ASD, experiences that deepen her commitment to supporting families. She is dedicated to supporting families through their disability journey in whatever way she can.
