Bridgeway is a nonprofit education and therapy center serving children and young adults with autism and developmental disabilities.
Bridgeway was founded by speech-language pathologist Abby David and music therapist Erin Nealy in 2005 as Helping Hands Center for Special Needs. The organization’s goal is to help each child and young adult reach their highest potential. Bridgeway accomplishes its mission with a centralized approach providing academic programs and therapy services in one place:
