From the moment we started with Social Bridges in 2007, we have felt GREAT support and obtained a wealth of information for our child, now 16 years old, and for our family.

We have clearly seen our child grow and improve in his social interactions. From the rough years in middle school to his now second year in high school. Challenges that we thought would come have disappeared.

My son had a wonderful freshman year and was selected for the leadership team next year. He is traveling extensively this summer and also working as a camp counselor. We can’t thank you enough for all of your help. We constantly use all of the skills from Social Bridges.

I must say that I am very pleased with the professionalism, behavioral strategies, communications, and overall implementation of the program thus far. It is very organized, and the notes will be extremely helpful because I know as parents we need to reinforce what is being taught and really need the tools to do so.

Thank you and Social Bridges staff for providing my son and others with a much-needed service. I truly appreciate the updates. They show me that the program is well organized and facilitated with clear objectives and goals as well as a general emphasis on having fun.

Social Bridges has given my child a sense of awareness. She is more in tune to how others respond to her behavior. She’s learned to blend in.

Online or virtual social skills can differ from in-person social interactions and bring with them their own challenges and anxieties. My son would run from the room or make loud noises or distracting movements when we would Skype or FaceTime family, even up to this spring. Forced to adapt in these difficult times to a new normal, but in a safe space with fellow group members who may also be having challenges, along with the prepared facilitators, allowed him to practice his social skills in this setting and utilize his calm down tools…. While we wish this pandemic never occurred, having to adjust our activities has opened up a whole new world for our son. 

Social Bridges has meant the world to my son and our family! We have participated nonstop for the past four years. It is “the one” therapy my son really, really looks forward to attending. Social Bridges has given him a safe place to make friends, learn pertinent social skills, and interact among peers in a nonthreatening setting. Some of his best friends are those that we have met in our “Friendship Group”! As a bonus, I have met some very dear friends as a mommy. It is a wonderful support to our daily life!! Social Bridges has been an integral part of our treatment protocol!! I wish everyone could have an opportunity to participate!!
