The Bridge Has Been Missing
A child is discharged on a Friday. The school knows nothing. A family can't navigate the paperwork. A student returns and is back in the hospital within 30 days. A parent does everything right - and the school fails their child anyway.
All four of these failures are preventable. Not with more resources. With more knowledge. That's what ZaKa Bridge provides.

Built From the Inside
ZaKa Bridge was founded by Angela, a hospital-based Educational Specialist with a Master's Degree in Special Education with a focus on Applied Behavior Analysis. She has spent her career sitting at the intersection of pediatric medicine and education - consulting with families, communicating with schools, and watching the same preventable failures happen over and over.
ZaKa Bridge is what she built so those failures would stop.
