When you enroll your child or teen, you are making a semester-long commitment for Fall or Spring. Regular attendance is encouraged, as skills build upon one another.

Q: Do you accept the FES/Step Up Scholarship?
Yes, we are an approved FES-UA/Step Up provider. However, we are only able to accept the Step Up Unique Abilities (UA) Scholarship. At your intake interview, please provide the student number, and we will submit statements for reimbursement directly. It is your responsibility to ensure your child is in attendance for each session, as only sessions attended can be reimbursed. Any sessions missed are the responsibility of the family to make up (a check-in call with facilitators) or to pay out-of-pocket ($65/session).

Q: How do you communicate with me about my child?
Social Bridges uses a HIPAA-compliant parent portal to send weekly communications and progress reports. At the beginning of each semester, you will be required to fill out forms with information about your child. All private information is stored in their electronic health files, which can be accessed by your child’s facilitator. Additionally, Social Bridges provides communication via our monthly newsletters regarding program-wide announcements through email. Your child’s facilitators may reach out to you directly through email, text message, or phone.
