SPECIAL EDUCATION

Bridge Services

Bridge services are designed to meet the needs of middle and high school students with disabilities who may have social emotional challenges that impact their ability to access the general education curriculum. These challenges may include: emotional social vulnerability, problem solving, abstract thinking, organizing and planning, interpreting social cues, establishing relationships with peers, coping with anxiety, sensory sensitivity, pragmatic language and attention.

What we do

Through the use of a multidisciplinary team, Bridge Services empower students to reach academic goals in the general education curriculum and social successes within the least restrictive environment.
