Bridgeway - Academy & Therapy Center On a mission to inspire the potential and celebrate the ability of every child 🧡💙💚

Bridgeway is a non-profit organization supporting children and young adults with autism and developmental disabilities. Bridgeway’s service model provides individualized educational opportunities and collaborative therapeutic services, creating an unprecedented setting for learning. Bridgeway was founded in 2005 as Helping Hands Center for Special Needs by Abigail David and Erin Nealy. Both were working in the central Ohio disability community as owners of small private speech and music therapy practices. They observed parents struggling to meet the needs of their children, driving from school to therapy sessions located at various sites throughout the community. Abby and Erin began to dream, made plans and eventually built a center that is student-and-client-centered. Through its two entities, the Academy and the Therapy Center, Bridgeway offers a full continuum of educational and therapeutic services for 300+ individuals from 10 counties in central Ohio.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our 2025 Giving Tuesday donors, our first weather protection structure has been installed—just in time for fall and winter weather! ⛈️❄️

This new structure will help keep Bridgeway students and staff protected from the elements during drop-off and pick-up, making those busy moments a little more comfortable, no matter what the weather brings.

What began as a Giving Tuesday goal is now making a real difference on our campus. Thank you for helping us keep our Bridgeway community ! 💙🧡💚
