Why We Have a BCBA-Only Model

At Thrive ABA Therapy, we believe exceptional ABA therapy starts with who is delivering the therapy.

Our model is different by design: BCBAs provide the direct ABA therapy. There are no behavior technicians delivering treatment while the BCBA supervises from the sidelines.
Why?

Because BCBAs have the highest level of education and clinical training in ABA. They understand not only what to do, but why we are doing it, and how to make clinical decisions when a child’s needs change.

And I believe BCBAs deserve the opportunity to practice the way they were trained to practice.

It's a different standard for ABA therapy.
We believe children and families deserve access to highly trained clinicians and BCBAs deserve the opportunity to provide the kind of clinical care they were educated and trained to deliver.

That is why Thrive is BCBA-only. ❤️

Music Works is partnering with Seattle Children's Autism Center

We are so excited to have Music Works Northwest joining us at our Mental Health & Wellness Event this Saturday! 🎶💙

A huge thank you to Music Works NW for being part of this special event and giving families the opportunity to play instruments, explore music, and experience the joy of making music together.

Music can be such a powerful way to support mental health and well-being. It can help us express emotions, reduce stress, build confidence, encourage connection, and create a sense of joy and belonging — and you don’t have to be a musician to benefit from it!

Come join us this Saturday from 11-2 at Seattle Children’s Magnuson and discover the many resources and activities available to support the mental health and wellness of children, teens, and families!

More information about Music Works NW can be found on their website here: https://www.musicworksnw.org/
