Therapists, parents, and self-advocates all love the SEA Bridge
The SEA Bridge is designed for instructors leading autistic and neurodivergent students. As a web-based curriculum, we have accessibility options for many different needs, including text-to-speech, motor skill support, and much more. Still unsure? Just ask us, we’d love to get to know more about your student’s specific needs!
No, the SEA Bridge is not a school. It is a online-based, educator-led curriculum tailored for autistic and neurodivergent youth ages 5-10. The SEA Bridge is facilitated by independent teachers, therapists, and other providers. Parents and caregivers who are interested in the SEA Bridge for their child, send us an email and we can try to help find a SEA Bridge provider near you!
The SEA Bridge subscription is intended to be used and facilitated by educators and clinicians. As a subscriber, you have access to the entire curriculum online including all the provided materials to then facilitate with students either virtually or in-person. We set it up this way to better help meet students’ individual needs. Clinicians and educators using the curriculum can adapt the workshops (i.e. skipping over the music or adding in more discussion questions) based on their students’ needs.
As many as you’d like! The SEA Bridge is intended to be used in small group or one-on-one settings and can be used across multiple groups or individual sessions.
The 40 workshops are split into two sessions and build on themselves. Each of the following topics are covered across two workshops, where generally the first workshop introduces the concept (i.e. “what is it”) and the second workshop supports students with strategies moving forward (i.e. “what to do”).
Session 1 includes:
- Being together, being me
- Recognizing and understanding similarities and difference
- Building bridges of understanding between two people
- Getting my needs met
- Identifying emotions in myself
- Responding to my emotions
- Recognizing emotions in others
- Responding to big feelings in others
- Handling changes in my environment
- Knowing my strengths and finding a place in my community
Session 2 includes:
- Must haves and nice to haves (needs vs wants)
- Negotiating and setting boundaries
- Different ways of communicating
- Balancing communication differences
- Interoception
- Feeling different emotions simultaneously
- Diversity and equity
- Different ways to care for people
- Managing burnout and crisis
- Finding pride in neurodivergence
With 40 unique lessons, the SEA Bridge is intended to be used once week! However, it can be used as frequently as best fits your schedule.
We are a strong supporter of the disability justice mantra, “Nothing about us, without us.” That is why we have made sure to include feedback, research, and opinions of autistic individuals throughout the creation of the SEA Bridge curriculum. We have received feedback through surveys and focus groups and autistic individuals have been involved in the direct creation of lessons and activities. Are you autistic or neurodivergent and interested in helping shape the future for others in the neurodivergent community? We’d love to hear from you!
