We’re grateful to have partnered with Kids First Aspen to host last night’s parent workshop for local families in Pitkin County. A special thank you to Kids First for the opportunity to share space, conversation, and learning with your community.

Jess McAllister, one of Thrive’s BCBA Senior Consultants, led Behavior is Communication, exploring neurodiversity, foundational behavior concepts, and practical, proactive strategies families can use to support language and skill development. It was truly a pleasure connecting with families and engaging in such thoughtful, meaningful discussion throughout the evening.
