Early intervention can make such a meaningful difference. ABA therapy for preschool-aged children can help build communication, social skills, daily routines, and independence, all in ways that are personalized for each child.

If you’ve ever wondered how ABA can support your child’s early development, we’d love to help answer your questions.

Drop them in the comments.

Toilet training can feel like a big milestone, for both kids and parents. Remember, every child moves at their own pace, and that pace is perfectly okay.

Here are 5 simple tips our Stride team often shares with families starting the toilet-training journey at home:

• Keep routines consistent
• Use visuals and clear language
• Celebrate small wins
• Pay attention to signs of readiness
• Be patient with progress and setbacks

You are not alone in this, our team is always here to support you.

Save this for later and share with a family who may find it helpful.

🎃👻 Stride got spooky this season!

Our clinics across the Midwest hosted open houses and trunk-or-treats, and it was an absolute blast. From creative costumes to festive decorations, we loved seeing how fun and spirited our Stride families and team members got!

It was so special connecting with our surrounding communities, meeting new families, and celebrating alongside our current and alumni families who continue to make Stride such a welcoming and joyful place.

A huge thank-you to everyone who stopped by, volunteered, or helped make these events so memorable, we can’t wait to do it again next year!
