A Parentâs Point of View
Before getting connected to Bridge Linx, I wanted to avoid my sonâs parent/teacher conferences. It didnât matter that there were new teachers every year, the message was always the same. They told me, âSammy is a bright boy, but he struggles in class. He appears to listen, but when asked to respond to a question, his answers are incorrect and his notes are disorganized or in disarray.â
Sammy was leaving out important information and therefore, not performing well on tests. I remember turning to my husband with a flow of tears streaming down my face, and asking, âWhat are we doing wrong? No amount of studying seems to help our son.â
I saw the disappointment in Sammyâs eyes every time he came home with a bad grade. When he would cry in frustration, I sometimes cried with him. Bridge Linx was able to give him the proper support that he so desperately needed.
After the first phone call with Bridge Linx, I was put at ease. They immediately set up a meeting to have Sammy evaluated. The Bridge team of therapists sent me to an audiologist to get further information. Finally, we had a diagnosis. My son had difficulty with auditory processing. Within a few short weeks, he was able to implement the strategies taught to him by his speech therapist to actively listen. He showed a major improvement in his notes. In therapy, they worked on following directions, responding to questions, listening and retelling stories. I canât begin to tell you what a difference it has made. I will never forget the day Sammy came home with the highest grade on his test! Tears, once again filled my eyes. This time they were tears of happiness and joy. My son was on his way to academic success!
Partnering with Bridge Linx The Teacherâs Point of View
As a teacher of mainstream classes, students present many different challenges in the classroom. As an instructor, taking into account the number of students I teach, and my limited resources, I do my best to help each child do his or her best. That has its own challenges. Partnering with Bridge Linx Therapy Center has made a tremendous difference in my ability to help. Bridge Linx evaluates the students to assess the source of their issues. They then make recommendations that I can immediately implement in the classroom. I have seen amazing results from the therapy they have recommended. Most of all, I feel empowered, having a resource of professionals to turn to for help and advice.
