About the Program
The BRIDGE program is a specialized, intensive program based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis that serves students on the Autism Spectrum. The program team includes a special education teacher, supporting instructional assistants, and consultation from a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Speech and Language Pathologist, and Occupational Therapist.
Services provided to students include a combination of discrete trial training, supported inclusion, small group activities, and incidental teaching.
