Bridges Development Center is founded on a mission to serve the neurodivergent children and their families, and ultimately our aim is to make our school model accessible to a variety of income levels. The Bridges’ model not only helps its students and families, but also the broader community.  Bridges Development Center is a registered 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization, EIN #93-2430975.

Opening a school has significant start-up costs, including finding and securing a location, purchasing equipment and supplies, establishing back-office operations, and more.  As a nonprofit organization, our ultimate funding model will include tuition fees as well as private grants and donations. In our start-up phase, fundraising and grants will allow us to open our doors to make this unique and costly model possible and offer services that do not yet exist in the community. 

The neurodiversity movement is here and gaining rapid momentum, shining light as the identified needs of young children continue to climb. Our Center will bridge the support systems of our children through a researched-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach to enrich their well-being.
