  Our Mission Thrive is on a mission to revolutionize special education in the United States. We provide results-driven therapies and related services to children with diverse needs, removing barriers to academic achievement and well-being .

We believe health and well-being are critical in establishing conditions for learning, and schools can't do this work alone.
  
  We lock arms with mission-centered leaders, schools, and districts to deliver highly effective care and services driven by data and designed to get results in both the treatment and classroom settings. We're an education organization with a singular focus - closing the equity gap. Thrive's team has garnered numerous national, regional, and local awards, including National Teacher of the Year Finalist, Middle School Teacher of the Year, and Community Advocate of the Year.
