The Bright Futures Learning story began in 1999 under the name Sensory Foundations. It started as an occupational therapy clinic which provided sensory-integration-based therapy. Soon is was apparent that this specialized therapy yielded results not only in traditional occupational therapy areas, but also in academic ability.

This recognition led to a collaboration with educators who had expertise in working with challenged learners. A new learning system was then developed to help students achieve success in school. This new system was first implemented in summer programs until, in 2003, the first Bright Futures Learning Center was opened in Florence, South Carolina. One year later a second clinic was opened in Granite Bay California.

On the success of these centers, Bright Futures Learning extended its reach in 2005 by applying the same learning principles within the framework of Supplemental Education Services made available through the Federal No Child Left Behind Act. This has allowed Bright Futures Learning to serve a segment of children with great need—the economically disadvantaged.

Today Bright Futures Learning is serving thousands of children across the country and continues to be committed to providing excellence in service and results-based instruction.
