Our Approach
Child and Family Focused
Our approach to programming starts with a question: “What does your family need to feel strong, healthy and supported?” Based on your answers, our staff will work closely with you to identify and design a program that works to support your unique situation and goals for the future. Taking a holistic, family-focused approach, we build supports around your needs rather than building supports around your funding model, whether it’s private or provided by Family Support for Disabilities (FSCD).
With this customized blueprint in hand, we then build a meaningful service plan that is informed by reports provided by you, our team’s observations, standardized testing if it’s deemed relevant by our clinical consultant as well as our research-based practices in Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA). The end result of this process will be a highly individualized plan built around your family and supported by the foundational pillars of social skills, behaviour, community and language your child needs for success.
Call our office to chat confidentially about your unique situation. We’ll listen, ask some questions and then get the process started for your family.
Comprehensive Supports and Covid-19
In addition to our individualized programming support options for learning in the context of a social environment, we also offer a wide range of comprehensive supports. As we navigate the Alberta Health Services COVID-19 restrictions and recommendations in place at this time, we are limited in what we can offer our clients and families.
Looking for an ADHD coach?
Life can be easier for those struggling with ADHD, as well as for those people who love and support them. ADHD coaching could be the solution you’ve been searching for. As with all Bridges programs, we take a family-centred approach to ADHD coaching. We connect teens and young adults who need help and parents who need strategies with the right coach and the integrated services needed to build skills, promote personal growth and achieve success.
While our ADHD coaching services are not covered by FCSD funding or private insurance, we are committed to offering affordable, cost-effective coaching for our clients and their families.
Who We Are
Bridges believes in a family-centred approach to helping children gain the skills they need to reach their potential. The focus is on building the children's success skills through meaningful, targeted supports.
We provide small group programming and individual consultation and support to families with children who have a range of developmental deficits.
Our primary focus is on building the foundations of social thinking, behaviour and language needed for success. Our approach is governed by research-based practices and Applied Behaviour Analysis.
