Bridges Learning

Learn with Bridges: whether it is for an adult, student, child, or entire community, Bridges has the expertise to bring your technology goals into measurable realities.

For Low Incidence Challenges:
Bridges is the unchallenged leader in Canada in working with individuals with complex physical access and cognitive challenges. We were the first to bring applications like Speaking Dynamically Pro, Classroom Suite, Clicker and Writing with Symbols, Discover and the Grid to Canada. Recently we pioneered the use of interactive white boards, such as SMART™ Boards, as an access and inclusion tool for students with profound challenges in our Smart Inclusion training. With experts with years of clinical and educational experience on hand, we can help with mounting, positioning and software customization and other consulting.

For Hi-Incidence Challenges:
Bridges has been training on software tools for students with learning disabilities since our inception. We were the first to bring word prediction, talking word processors and other tools to Canada to address this population. We have trained in English and French in every province on Co:Writer, Write:OutLoud, Kurzweil 3000, Word Q/Speak Q, Read Write Gold, Dragon Naturally Speaking, Inspiration, ZoomText, Kurzweil 1000 and others. Our instructors train individual students, and with CAST-certified UDL instructors on staff, we also train teachers on using software for whole class instruction.
