An innovative digital solution for caregivers to help support managing care in everyday life

May 24, 2022

Challenge

Managing the complexities of developmental disabilities can be overwhelming — especially for caregivers. Without the right tools and resources, it’s challenging to connect with providers, find support from like-minded people in the community and access the most up-to-date treatment information. What caregivers need is a single source of truth that makes their lives easier.

Our solution

While most electronic health applications in the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) space focus on providers, myBrightlink® is a digital solution designed by Catalight specifically for caregivers. This powerful mobile application serves as the go-to resource for client families of Easterseals Northern California, providing them with:

  • Direct access — Through the secure messaging feature, caregivers can send direct communications to the client’s care team, getting the assistance they need – even in between sessions.
  • Education — Custom resources, Parent-Led ABA curriculum and curated content developed by a team of experienced contributors helps caregivers learn about diagnosis and methods for managing care within everyday life.
  • Treatment plans — As caregivers practice skills against treatment plan goals, they can document and share their observations in real time with the care team, allowing the treatment to be adjusted as needed.
  • Community connections — Caregivers can find support, make play dates and discover local autism-friendly and inclusive events through an online network of families in the community. Caregivers can find support, make play dates and discover local autism-friendly and inclusive events through an online network of families in the community.
