Bridgewell strengthens communities by providing an unmatched range of social and human services that empower people with life challenges to live safe, self-directed and productive lives.
Bridgewell delivers support through community housing, day programs, outpatient treatment, recovery services, as well as education and employment training.
Bridgewell is a leader on the cutting-edge of autism services. We specialize in helping young adults that are transitioning from the educational system to adult services through day programs, community housing, outpatient treatment, education and employment training.
In most of Bridgewell's programs, there are specialized services designated for adults with autism, including community homes, individualized home support, day programs, employment support and crisis clinical services. Bridgewell takes a person-centered approach in its delivery of services. Bridgewell’s Family Support Center provides services to people and their families from diverse cultural, ethnic and linguistic backgrounds including those who are supporting an individual with autism.
Bridgewell operates three Rosewood Day programs, two in Danvers and one in Billerica serving over 100 young adults with autism. We have over 10 community residences for people with autism including the first hybrid autism – medically intensive supported home in MA.
Additionally, through Bridgewell’s Autism Services, residents and day program attendees receive comprehensive behavioral support services by experienced master’s level clinicians with specialization and certification in applied behavior analysis. Behavior support services are tailored to the person’s specific need areas and are selected from a full range of evidence-based practices.
Behaviorists work closely with other clinical team members (occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech pathology) to ensure a collaborative and comprehensive approach to services, and to create an environment that facilitates growth and skill development.
