A great school for typical kids. For families considering the therapeutic program, please be careful. While there are good teachers at Bridge, administration and therapeutic staff do not seem specialized or interested in appropriate interventions. My child’s educational plan was rarely followed. More often than not, the idea seemed to be removal of privileges and isolation. I was presented with a plan for addressing behaviors. I signed, trusting what was presented to me: a collaborative plan to help my child. In fact, it was a document that allowed them to initiate the process of removal. Later I learned that they are required to make a case that some sort of crisis is happening before they can force you to leave. Sure enough, my child was subjected to physical restraint three times in the following week. (They had never needed restraint prior and had never exhibited violent behavior in any setting known to us). 90 percent of my child’s problems have disappeared since leaving.
