BridgingApps

BridgingApps is a community of parents, teachers, therapists, doctors, and people with disabilities who share information on how they are using touch-based, mobile devices and apps with people who have special needs. Their goal is to provide individuals, caregivers, and professionals with the best resources for choosing apps to enhance everyday life for people with disabilities and sharing their successes with others. In collaboration with speech language pathologists and occupational therapists, they have created an app review system that focuses on skills rather than age, diagnosis, or developmental level to help improve outcomes for a person with a disability. BridgingApps offers assistive technology lab services and training courses, including the Family Transition Tool - TexasYouth2Adult (TY2A). They serve thousands of individuals each year through their website and in-person technology services in the Houston area.
