Our Programmes and Curriculum

First Bridge offers a variety of services to children and families in our care.

Core programmes 

Our core programmes are individually designed based on a variety of detailed developmental and clinical assessments with a therapy tailored to each child.

They include 1:1 and small group-based ABA therapy, with supervision and programming delivered by our Clinical Supervisors (BCBA®/UKBA(cert)).  Socialskills and school-readiness therapy groups are provided throughout the day.

These programmes run 46.5 weeks throughout the year to ensure continuity of learning and progress.
