Submit BRIDGES Interest FormBRIDGES Eligibility
All students with an IEP who need continued support in working towards their post-secondary transition goals are eligible for BRIDGES. Students in BRIDGES will be near their peers daily, make frequent trips out into the community both to volunteer and experience the community, and will be supported in and expected to work towards workplace behaviors to the extent they are able.
The decision to enroll and move to BRIDGES is an IEP team decision that includes the BRIDGES team. The earlier you can get us involved the more we can support in ensuring that a student can make a successful transition to our program if that is what they want.
BRIDGES Enrollment Process and Timeline
As early as 9th grade, you can reach out to the BRIDGES Program Specialist for information about the program. In addition to chatting on the phone or answering questions via email, they are happy to attend IEP, Eval, or Parent/Teacher meetings to discuss the program and any services or supports that can be offered during high school around transition.
