Social Bridges®
Q: Why is it important to learn social skills in a peer group?
Q: Can my child or teen learn social skills virtually?
Virtual skill-building groups and clubs are only open to families residing in Florida due to Telehealth regulation.
Virtual skill-building group sessions are live-online interactions between facilitators and groups of children or teens. In this virtual format, we continue to provide the same high-quality lessons, which include direct teaching, social coaching, and activities that give students opportunities to practice skills with their peers. The way that we do this is different from face-to- face interactions; however the social-emotional needs of your child or teen will be addressed and met.
Q: Who teaches or facilitates the social skills training groups and clubs?
Q: When is individual social coaching helpful?
Q: What is the difference between skill building groups and clubs?

Q: What is the cost and commitment to the program?
The cost is $65 per group session, unless otherwise noted. The overall tuition is determined by the number of weeks in the semester. Fall semester runs from August-December and Spring semester runs from January-May. Summer courses are also available. 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. Additionally, in the semester-long commitment, you will not be refunded for sessions missed.
Q: Is this program covered by insurance?
Medicaid HMOs: Staywell, Simply, Aetna Better Health, Humana, UHC, and Sunshine. Use this link to connect with JFS: https://www.jfsorlando.org/social-bridges-request-form

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).
