“[The Bridges instructor’s] depth and breadth of knowledge is amazing.
Sharing the tools or demonstrating features was great but the excellent part of the training was her ability to relate the skill or function or tool back to this question; so how is this relevant to the student?
She took the student's current work or interests and made the AT relevant to what mattered most to the student.”
Special Education Head, TCDSB
“[the Bridges Instructor's] ability to effectively work in a whole class environment supported the classroom teachers to build capacity, and normalize those tools for all students.
Students become better self-advocates for their AT learning needs which is such an important legacy for the time she spends supporting our children.”
SERT, Wellington Catholic DSB
“The students who received specific training improved in their confidence level working with technology. I especially noticed it with one student who previously relied on other students or the teacher… After her sessions, she was no longer reliant (and) became much more comfortable accessing and using online tools to help her complete her assignments.
Grade 4 Teacher, WCDSB
“We were told that a computer would help (our daughter) achieve her educational goals, but we had no idea how helpful it could be with the (Bridges') instructor’s guidance and education.
Our daughter looked forward to her sessions.
Overall working with the (Bridges) instructor has been a wonderful and empowering experience for my daughter.”
