About 

Over 20 Years of Proven Success

Developed by Dr. Judy Levin and Carol Miller, Social Bridges® has 20 years of proven success in social emotional instruction for preschoolers through young adults. Our comprehensive services are designed to build positive peer relationships, develop tools for social competence, and create community. 

We use a research-based approach that integrates cognitive behavioral therapies, best practices in social-emotional development, and our expertise from decades of clinical work. The result is a CASEL-aligned, evidence-driven program that fosters the social skills and emotional intelligence (EQ) that are critical for children and young adults to reach their full potential. 

Social Bridges’ office is located in Orlando, Florida. Our virtual programs and consulting services allow us to partner with students, educators, and families across the U.S. We also offer a licensed school-based curriculum, Social Bridges® ToolBox, designed for students in PreK, elementary, middle, and high school. The ToolBox uses a structured, foundational approach to develop social cognition skills in a school setting.

We are excited to share that as of January 2023, The Social Bridges Center is moving to a new location! We will be starting our Spring Semester, which begins January 9th, at our new home at 115 East Marks St., Orlando, FL 32803. 

Our new light, bright space provides us with large group rooms and a flex space to use as a teen lounge, or for parent and community training. It also has outdoor space for game play and gardening, and easy access to fun, new locations for outings. We look forward to providing the same great services at a new and improved location!

Starting the teenager years with our son had us scared. Thankfully, with the support we got with Social Bridges we were able to clearly make better distinctions on normal teenager behavior and his disability disorder. This was invaluable!! We now look into these years happily and with hope of better things to come.

Social Bridges Parent

Social Bridges has changed my life in more ways than I can name. Before Social Bridges, I would remain quiet and never speak to anyone. It taught me that it’s okay to open up to others, and it has truly made me the person I am today. Now as confident teen, I realize my “calling” and aspire to eventually get my PhD in Psychology to help others.

Social Bridges Participant

Social Bridges has brought such a positive outlook to our family. From common courtesies, proper control of frustrations and those behaviors expected in social situations, our children are much more aware of what good behavior looks like. We feel most members of society would benefit from a program like this. It is a win win for all.
