The UAE is making great strides towards becoming a fully inclusive society and we are proud to be a part of this positive movement! We strive towards an inclusive, human rights based, society that embraces differences and upholds equality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/1603000531180-5EE5CNKGZSK5JX4ZEN44/7.png Home - Change the Approach, not the Child. We uphold a ‘social model’ of disability, recognizing that a Person of Determination may face difficulties due to societal barriers. It is our aim to remove these barriers by changing the approach to education (not changing the child!). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/1603000430787-2FBBYSOSFGL5R3GDVQIU/2.png Home - One Size Does Not Fit All. The Bridge recognises that one size does not fit all when it comes to education! Alternative teaching methods must be adopted to fit each student's profile of needs and abilities. We focus on a holistic education that incorporates clinical interventions with curriculum content and social skills support. https://thebridgelearning.com/learning-center daily 0.75 2021-05-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/1610710794197-C5675GQR7O9N35LABXM1/8.png About - A Multidisciplinary Approach. The Bridge concept was born when the Assistant Principal of a mainstream school and a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst, realised that if they combine approaches, they could offer a unique experience; One that met the needs of the Students of Determination currently struggling in the mainstream classroom. A combined wealth of knowledge and experience prompted them to create an approach which encapsulates best practice from each discipline: Speech & Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Applied Behavioural Analysis, Educational Psychology and the rigor of mainstream classroom pedagogy; delivered alongside the high standards of the British National Curriculum. The Bridge adopts a robust multidisciplinary approach which skillfully blends therapeutic intervention with schooling; we are not just a therapy center, we truly are an effective & inclusive school provision! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/1603631711872-W5AKONHA26ZUMGI9YY3S/17.png About - Evidence Based Programs. Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is an evidence based, scientific therapy. ABA is used to target and improve specific behaviors, including social skills, speech, communication, academics, fine motor skills, self care and other competences. ABA is internationally recognised for its success in therapeutic intervention for individuals with Autism and other developmental delays. ABA helps children to improve social interactions, learn new skills and improve positive behaviours. Evidence suggests that ABA is most successful when intensely applied for more than 20 hours a week in early childhood. The Bridge utilises ABA methodology across the curriculum, to ensure an integrated, yet intensive approach for optimum progress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/1610800182989-N03PUOIHXKM26OZAMGND/20.png About - A holistic approach, with high expectations. When a student is referred to The Bridge via a mainstream setting, we work alongside the school’s inclusion team to identify any barriers to learning. We use a range of standardised and informal assessments to gauge gaps in knowledge, skills and understanding. These include: VB-MAPP, ABLLS, Functional Behaviour Assessments and British National Curriculum Baselines. From here, we construct a bespoke Individual Education Plan (IEP) in collaboration with teachers, parents, specialist staff and our resident Board Certified Behavioural Analysis (BCBA). Our IEPs are holistic, covering: academics, social, physical, communication and emotional goals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/1610709557855-51K2HZLEGX31920J8QI2/11.png About - Collaboration is Key! Here at The Bridge, we have a very good working knowledge of school functioning, curriculum expectations and KHDA requirements. We aim to up-skill and empower entire school communities via meaningful partnerships and collective efforts. To enable students of determination to have high quality educational opportunities we provide teacher training, special events and parent workshops. When we partner with a school, we do not consider ourselves a separate entity, rather an expansion of the school’s inclusive community. https://thebridgelearning.com/vision daily 0.75 2024-05-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/1610707979045-FI9BKTUPGG4QNQ9Z9Y9C/16.png Vision - Break Down Barriers In line with the UAE’s mission towards becoming a fully inclusive - barrier free society, we strive to create a human rights based community that embraces differences and upholds equality. In order to achieve this, high quality habilitation and special education is a paramount first step. The Bridge supports schools and families to shoulder the responsibility and ensure our future generation is equipped with the skills, empathy and understanding to make this possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/1610708165136-J2BY4T2KI1HAQZYUA0FH/13.png Vision - Bridge Gaps When a child enrolls, we carefully identify any gaps in learning and development and make it our mission to bridge them. We create bespoke plans to ensure each child is equipped to make effective progress in any identified areas for improvement. This is done via rigorous planning and assessment, alongside evidence based programmes of intervention delivered by qualified experts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/1610708097666-H71CCNN8R5RJKIN4EA0P/9.png Vision - Build Skills We believe that Therapy & Special Education should be about more than improving deficits, rather we are dedicated to identifying gifts and building on existing skills. The Bridge enables students to build strengths that they can apply to their everyday life. Our focus is on enabling people of determination to enjoy a sense of belonging and fulfill their potential, within an inclusive society. https://thebridgelearning.com/apply daily 0.75 2022-03-29 https://thebridgelearning.com/services daily 0.75 2024-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/1611054343479-Y6446QMCVL6FW2FHOY6K/9.png Services ABA Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/e24bf344-f8e4-49e0-b4a9-c94966ca8552/15.png Services - Make it stand out Feeding Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/1611747217348-K9F4LOOHYYAWRL3U1SAS/5.png Services - Make it stand out Play Therapy & Childhood Counselling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/484543cc-1ddf-48e6-86ec-b403071ef6ba/8.png Services - Occupational Therapy Occupational Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/3eabb261-125a-4246-a201-2789a436a256/17.png Services - Make it stand out Diagnostic & Psycho-Educational Assessment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/d8f303a9-8b37-4509-843e-c7175755c37e/10.png Services Speech & Language Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/1608605314229-MDYUTJ1MUN5YDF315T67/12.jpg Services Early Intervention https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/1608525026086-BOS6BHL5BDBZD4X1IC72/The+Bridge+Pics+%283%29.png Services Parent Support https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/1626272224467-EZ1EN7LT28Z3VFCM91FS/GettyImages-1125881964.jpg Services The Daily Programme https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/1653379950914-V6I8B4T30H3OORYYRZK3/Back+to+school.png Services - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://thebridgelearning.com/scholarship daily 0.75 2021-01-28 https://thebridgelearning.com/tour daily 0.75 2021-01-26 https://thebridgelearning.com/aba daily 0.75 2024-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/1611746060913-U9GT4A5YNY60INURMCH5/9.jpg ABA - Applied Behaviour Analysis Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) helps our learners to improve social interactions, advance their communication, learn new skills and reduce negative behaviour. At The Bridge, we begin with a focus on embedding prerequisite skills for learning, such as: attending, tolerating delay, completing tasks independently, social communication and self care skills. Moving on to fostering academics and adaptive skills. We promote naturalistic teaching methods, upholding a nurturing approach individually tailored to each child’s unique needs. Our programs are overseen by Board Certified Behaviour Analysts, with years of experience in the field. Our therapists are certified and experienced. https://thebridgelearning.com/speech daily 0.75 2024-05-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/d8f303a9-8b37-4509-843e-c7175755c37e/10.png Speech Therapy - Speech & Communication Speech Therapy supports children with Communication & Interaction barriers, targeting receptive and expressive language difficulties and disorders. Our Speech and Language Therapists provide high quality intervention for challenges within articulation, fluency, resonance, pitch, volume and stuttering. Speech therapy can enable children to express themselves more effectively, confidently and clearly. It can help children to communicate socially and express their needs and feelings. If children have low verbal skills, AAC (augmentative/alternative communication) devises may be utilised to promote expression and language development and enable them to understand and communicate. https://thebridgelearning.com/occupational-therapy daily 0.75 2024-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/1611746778637-VS8O6FRWLVPM6JN9VQB4/3.jpg Occupational Therapy - Motor Skills & Physical Development Our experienced and qualified Occupational Therapists (OT) provide support for physical development, motor skills, adaptive skills and sensory processing. Occupational Therapy can help with fine motor development essential for writing, playing, eating and self care. In addition, OT supports the development of gross motor activities to increase core strength, balance, hand eye coordination and fitness. It also improves motor planning skills which are essential for knowing the steps to take to perform tasks. Sensory Processing interventions can help children to self-regulate to manage environmental and internal stimuli. https://thebridgelearning.com/parent daily 0.75 2021-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/1608525026086-BOS6BHL5BDBZD4X1IC72/The+Bridge+Pics+%283%29.png Parent Support - Parent Support We are a nurturing community at The Bridge, and family well-being matters to us. Our support does not end at school. It is our goal to ensure parents, nannies and other family members feel supported and confident to care for their child. Regular training sessions and BCBA home-care plans are on offer. It is important that skills learnt at school are generalised to the home environment, and to do this we ensure efficient collaboration with parents and carers. https://thebridgelearning.com/school-readiness daily 0.75 2021-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/1611747262625-F1V1JWEJA45MU8VDDGZ3/5.jpg School Readiness - School Readiness Our school Readiness programs focus on enabling children to gain the skills required to succeed in the mainstream classroom. These skills include: speech and communication, following instructions, listening to the teacher, sitting appropriately, scheduling, focusing on a task, academic skills and many more of the prerequisite skills required for students to effectively engage with learning opportunities. Once children are prepared, they may be gradually transitioned into the mainstream classroom at a rate that suites them. https://thebridgelearning.com/early-intervention daily 0.75 2021-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/1611748080567-2JY4A4IITPC5J682KORA/8.jpg Early Intervention - Early Intervention Early intervention is put in place when a young child has not met one or more of their developmental milestones. Our rigorous assessment and expertise identifies when a student’s development is not inline with their same age peers. Tailored programs of intensive intervention are put in place to target these gaps. Evidence widely supports the great benefits of early intervention and the possibility for children to catch up with their peers as a result. https://thebridgelearning.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-02-23 https://thebridgelearning.com/bookingsummercamp daily 0.75 2021-08-01 https://thebridgelearning.com/school-programme daily 0.75 2021-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8b31211950b6381ae08ef7/1626327087701-T52VBW055CMSB3923B0Q/GettyImages-1125881964.jpg school programme - Day Programme Students are immersed into a day program, following an Individual Education Plan (IEP) that incorporates typical school learning experiences alongside therapeutic intervention. Each IEP is clearly tailored to the child’s requirements and outlines ambitious targets and necessary interventions. Students are educated in a classroom setting, with a small group of six to eight students and a minimum of three teaching staff per class. We follow the British National Curriculum* using a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating ABA and Speech Therapy. We support students at the Bridge to enroll jointly with mainstream classes for inclusive social integration opportunities.
