Fostering Collaborative Care:
An Inside Look at the University of Minnesota's CARE Lab
In this insightful conversation with Dr. Jennifer McComas and Dr. Rebecca Kolb share how the University of Minnesota’s CARE Lab (Collaborative Action for Radical Equity in ABA) is redefining what it means to deliver equitable, interprofessional, and assent-based care. Born from listening to autistic and neurodivergent voices, the CARE Lab challenges the traditional “fix the person” model and instead focuses on transforming systems and relationships that surround the learner.
“Say the quiet part out loud.”
Functional Communication Training: An Individualized Approach to Selecting Effective Communication Modalities
This interview with Dr. Joel Ringdahl discusses Functional Communication Training (FCT), an intervention for challenging behavior in individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Dr. Ringdahl outlines three key objectives: understanding FCT, recognizing how the function of challenging behavior relates to communication-based interventions, and identifying variables for selecting effective communicative responses in FCT. The interview provides a comprehensive framework for designing and implementing individualized FCT approaches.

Introducing Bridgify's Learning Tools
Exclusive to Bridgify LLC
At Bridgify, we’ve transformed actions into tangible tools. We call them Learns, Practicals, Usefuls, and Teachables. Learns? Nope—those aren’t spelling errors, it's a playful yet purposeful way to bridge the gap between research and real-world application. Each name captures a step in the journey from understanding to implementation.
When you pick up a Learn, you’re not just gaining information—you’re unlocking an action. These tools are carefully designed to help you master a concept and understand how to apply it. A Practical takes it further with step-by-step support that allows you to rehearse and refine your new skills. A Useful gives you ready-made materials you can implement immediately. And a Teachable? That’s your go-to for training others—whether staff, caregivers, or colleagues—through structured, scalable guidance.
We believe in turning “actionable concepts” into practical takeaways. It’s our way of saying: knowledge isn’t just something you know—it’s something you do.
So go ahead—grab a Learn, try a Practical, put a Useful to work, and get ready to make a Teachable moment happen. At Bridgify, we’re here to help you make it happen—together.
We can't wait for you to put these into practice!
