Bridge to the Future

The Arc of Utah is proud to present Bridge to the Future, a training program designed to help people with disabilities and their families. Written by experts in the field, this program covers many aspects of life and many kinds of disabilities, with a particular emphasis on cognitive disabilities.

Learn how to help people with disabilities.  Life is a series of changes and transitions, and for individuals with disabilities, these changes can often be dramatic and even traumatic. This training guide has been developed to help individuals with disabilities and their families prepare for the many changes that lie ahead, for both children and adults, and to minimize the negative effects of those changes.

 

Become informed.  Becoming informed and educated is one of the best ways to prepare individuals and families to more effectively advocate for their own unique needs. Each section is a brief, general overview of the subject matter, and is meant to give you a general understanding of the topic.

 

Stay current.  At the end of each section, there is a list of references so you can research the topic in more depth. Please check this guide from time to time as new sections will be added periodically.
