Looking for a peaceful space designed with comfort, connection, and relaxation in mind? Look no further than our very own Sensory Room! 🛋️

Located on the fourth floor of the Palisades Mall, this space offers a welcoming environment where individuals with autism, ADHD, anxiety, and other intellectual or developmental disabilities can relax and recharge in sensory experiences tailored to their needs. ✨

The second image shows a close up of one of our chairs in the Sensory Room, which is a white, egg-shaped oval with a black center to sit in. Both the third and fourth images depict close ups of multicolored string lights. In the fourth image, a blue hammock sits beside them.

This Memorial Day, communities across Rockland County came together to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. 🇺🇸

At BRIDGES, we are deeply grateful for those who served, those who continue to serve, and those who gave their lives defending our freedoms. Their courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten.🎖️
