About the Bridges program:
Bridges is designed to support students by helping them apply the skills they have learned in school to their adult life. The Bridges program design is community and vocationally based; the focus is putting an adult schedule in place. These schedules include needed supports and are structured to help students access adult life as they transition out of public education. Bridges 18+ services are designed to increase student independence and functional skills needed to meet daily living requirements.
