The BRIDGE Parents Circle

The BRIDGE Parents Circle provides a supportive space for parents of transition-aged youth with autism to share experiences, connect with peers, and access resources and strategies for navigating adulthood. Facilitated discussions reduce isolation, foster community, and help families make informed decisions that support greater independence and meaningful outcomes for their children

Presented through Florida Atlantic CARD BRIDGE, an initiative provides guidance and support to transition-aged students 12-25 years of age with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or a related disability, their parents, and families. The transition road from youth to adulthood is a tremendous change. The BRIDGE program is here to provide expanded specialized supports and consultation to develop meaningful outcomes for adulthood. - Self-Determination & Circle of Support - Self-Advocacy - Community Living - Pre-Vocational Exploration - Pre-Employment Transition Services - Healthcare - Legal & Benefitsts Planning - Post-Secondary Education - Employment Options & Supports.
