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.
