Additional Information

ORLANDO -- Two women in Central Florida want to help families who have children with developmental disorders.

Allie Spangler and Rori Becker created the Web site Bright Feats.com, a directory of resources that lists doctors, educators, financial services, support groups and much more in the Central Florida area.

Spangler has a son with Autism, and Becker has a daughter with Epilepsy and mild Cerebral Palsy.

They both said the process of finding doctors and specialists was tough. They want to help other parents who might be going through the same painful process.

"This has been a great way to let people know that there are a lot of people out there just like you -- who have the same problems and different ways to solve those problems, so you can kind of connect with them," said Becker.
