Summary: Bright Paths is a non-public agency (NPA) that provides Physical and Occupational Therapy Services for school based services that are identified on Individual Education Plans (IEP's).

Bright Paths is a company that will be utilized to provide Physical and Occupational Therapists to ensure that all of our needed Physical and Occupational Therapy Services are covered for the 2018-2019 school year. MDUSD Personnel Department and Special Education continues to recruit and hire district employees.
