Middle School LLC

Support for diagnosed neurodiverse learners in Middle School (The Bridge), building self-advocacy, organizational habits, and academic ownership while students stay fully part of campus life.

Who It Is For

Support that grows with The Bridge

Middle School LLC serves students with a qualifying neurodiverse diagnosis, current testing, and a documented functional limitation. Specialists partner with teachers so accommodations and LLC class time reinforce classroom learning rather than replace it.

As students navigate grades 5–8, LLC emphasizes checking grades, planning work, practicing study strategies, and learning to advocate for what they need.
