In 2018, Adelphi became the first university to offer a sensory room for students who are on the autism spectrum or have other sensory needs. Since then, the room has been updated to offer a calming refuge for students returning to campus.
Through a variety of services designed to help students maximize areas of strength and creativity, the Bridges to Adelphi Program endeavors to increase community awareness and understanding, as well as foster appreciation for each student’s unique views of the world.
Bridges to Adelphi is a vital campus resource. It achieves its mission by:
《阿德尔菲之桥》帮助我们的儿子成熟，发展社交能力。他来自一个高中项目，获得了大量的学术支持，但没有太多的社会支持，而社会支持对大学这种不那么结构化的环境至关重要。他现在更加自信，并与有共同兴趣的学生建立了牢固的人际关系。
Our commitment to equity and academic opportunities for all students shines through Adelphi’s Learning Resource Program—the first of its kind on a college campus—and our Bridges to Adelphi Program, for students on the spectrum.
Bridges to Adelphi program received a 2021-2022 gold Excellence Award from theNational Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA)in the Equity, Inclusion, Social Justice and Related category and a gold Grand Winner award—for “transforming higher education through outstanding programs, innovative services and effective administration.”
During the pandemic in Summer 2020, several students in the Bridges to Adelphi program began developing a digital replica of our Garden City campus—even our beloved bunnies—in Minecraft video game format.
