The Bridge of Georgia Story

 

In 2013, the Bridge of Georgia opened its doors for school and therapies for children with special needs.  Among the founders were those who had spent many years sharing the journey of families with autism and other diagnoses.  They had the steadfast desire to determine what families needed and to provide as many of those things as possible under one roof.  Parents shared that they spent too much time driving their kids to therapies and appointments.  They stated that their kids weren't prepared for their future.  They had a desire to be heard about their kids' needs.  The founders heard the parents and created a bold ten-year plan that was comprehensive in meeting the needs that had been brought before them.  From 2013 when our opening boasted 5 students to our current enrollment of nearly 90  students, one thing has remained the same.  We have measured every decision by beginning with the end in mind.  We ask the question, "How will this serve this young person in the future?" and "How can we better prepare each student for their best life?"
