Social Bridges™ collaborates with teachers, parents, and outside professionals to
identify goals, target follow-up needs, and generalize skills to
school and home settings. This "team approach" is an integral
part of the Social Bridges program.
Social Bridges™
provides school-age children and adolescents with the opportunity to develop
skills through cooperative activities, discussion, and practice.
 |
Parent
participation includes completion of a child intake form, an intake
meeting and attendance at a parent orientation meeting. Following
each session, we provide parents with individual updates on their
child's progress.
|
|
|
Individual
parent conferences are scheduled at the completion of the program.
|
|
|
Our
goal is to help the child generalize the skills learned to their
natural settings, school, and home. We collaborate with their
teachers and outside professionals to meet this goal.
