Bridge takes higher priority in providing early learning support and intervention than getting “labels for life” prescribed by Psychological Assessments (PA). Instead of wasted learning time and lack of support prior to and after PA, we provide diagnostic and ability-driven learning for learners whether there is a “label” or not.
At Bridge, Diagnostic Assessments (DA) are reliable tools used to identify a child’s strengths and weaknesses that affect learning and performance (without stigma of psychological assessments), target the learning areas in need and monitor the progress and developments. Some areas of learning skills will be assessed more in-depth, dependent on the child’s needs.
DA is the time whereby an individual child attempts a series of stress-free and enjoyable activities and games with Bridge Specialist. The child will be assessed on their range of learning skills and developmental levels such as reading age, comprehension age, spelling age, receptive and expressive language, auditory and visual memory, fine and gross motor skills, attention span, maturity of social skills, spatial and numeracy concepts.
The DA is accompanied by consultation time with the Bridge Specialist to provide feedback and recommendations to parents on the observations made and scores obtained. Every child will have an Individualised Developmental and Progress Profiling (IDPP) at Bridge.
DA is likening to a trip for doctor check-ups and receiving immediate help if required. It is like what Chinese proverbs describe, “Effective remedy happens when we examine the root of the problem and act accordingly”.
Psychological assessments are necessary in some situations. However, these are not recommended for everybody because they are costly and usually warrant long waiting time. We do referrals for PA only when parents need psychological diagnosis for various valid reasons.
All DA sessions are by appointment only and generally take about 1 to 2 hours.
A 2nd appointment is needed only when a child needs more time or more detailed assessment in more areas.
With our comprehensive Diagnostic Assessments (DA), we will be able to ascertain your child’s needs, how best to help your child more effectively, the frequency and the type of programmes suitable for him/her.
Bridge programmes are each specially designed for different purposes, to help develop different skills and benefit varying learners. Some learners may require only 1 programme or a combination of programmes to maximize their abilities and development. We have learners who need no recommendation for programmes after our DA.
Most of our Bridge Core Programmes are conducted at least twice weekly for 1 hour per session. For more effective progress and higher retained learning, we always encourage increased frequency for at least twice weekly.
Bridge Elective Programmes are conducted at least once weekly for 2 hours per session.
Intensive courses are available for some programmes during school holidays.
Special enrichment courses and workshops are also available during school holidays.
DA is required for all Bridge Core Programmes.
DA is not required for Bridge Elective Programmes, ad-hoc courses and workshops.
