If your school, VR agency, or community organization is outside our service area, you have options. Below are vetted national resources for finding a supported-employment partner serving your local students or clients.
Each of these is an authoritative national source for school transition staff, vocational rehabilitation counselors, and community organizations supporting young adults with disabilities.
Council of State Administrators of Vocational Rehabilitation maintains the directory of every state's VR agency. Your state VR agency is the first stop for finding supported-employment providers serving your area — they fund and contract with community programs like Bridges.
Federally funded technical assistance center for state and local agencies serving students with disabilities ages 14 to 21. Practitioner-facing resources on transition planning, Pre-ETS delivery, IEP transition goals, and partnership development with employers and VR.
APSE is the national organization for supported-employment professionals. Their member directory and state chapters help you locate supported-employment programs near you that you can refer students or clients to.
Free online professional development for school transition staff. Modules on transition assessment, postsecondary goal-setting, agency collaboration, and aligning IEP plans with adult-services pathways.
Clearinghouse of resources for parents of children with disabilities. Find your state's Parent Training and Information Center (PTI) — they connect families to local employment supports and disability-related services.
We send a few updates per year, including any news about expansion to new states. Sign up via the form in the page footer below.
If you work across state lines and have a student or client in a Bridges state, you can refer them directly.
