The Bridge School

The Bridge School is a dedicated educational institution focused on empowering children with severe speech and physical impairments, serving students aged 3 to 21 with diverse needs, including language-based learning disabilities and those who are twice-exceptional. The school’s core mission emphasizes fostering communication and self-advocacy skills, ensuring that each child develops their unique voice. Utilizing innovative therapeutic methodologies, such as augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems, the curriculum is tailored to provide meaningful access to education through personalized modifications and accommodations. Key programs like the Self-Determination Program equip students with essential decision-making skills, while specialized initiatives for Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) ensure that all students receive targeted support in developing functional vision use. What sets The Bridge School apart is its commitment to maintaining a low student-teacher ratio, which fosters individualized attention and strong family partnerships, creating a supportive community that nurtures both educational and personal growth. Through its outreach efforts, the school not only impacts local families but also extends its expertise nationally and globally, sharing best practices in education for children with complex needs.
