We are excited to share that Stride Autism Centers has been recognized as a 2024 Top Workplace, with special recognition for Employee Wellbeing and Professional Development! This honor is especially meaningful because it’s based entirely on the feedback of our team members, who expressed that “joyful” is one of the words that best describes our culture.
At Stride, we believe that a positive and nurturing environment for our staff translates directly into the personalized care we provide to your children. According to our Chief Clinical Systems Officer, Dr. Ashley Whittington-Barnish, PhD, LCP, BCBA-D, NCSP, “Our goal is to create a work environment that cultivates joy for our staff, so they can cultivate joy for the children in their care. When our team members feel supported, valued, and inspired, they bring their best selves to work each day—and that makes all the difference for the kids.”
Creating a workplace that is caring, nurturing, inspiring, and welcoming is one of Stride’s core values. We invest in mentorship, professional growth, and wellbeing programs because we know that our success depends on our team’s happiness, mental health, and engagement.
A BCBA team member who has worked at other ABA clinics before joining Stride, shares how different the experience is: “At Stride, you feel truly seen, heard, and valued. The high staff-to-child ratio, consistent schedule, and skill building opportunities is unlike anywhere else I’ve worked. That sense of being valued helps us give our best to the kids every day.”
Stride’s commitment to our people means that we can continue to attract and retain the best talent in the field of ABA therapy—professionals who are not only experts in their field but are also passionate about making a lasting difference in the lives of young children with autism.
We are deeply grateful to the families who trust us with their children’s care. Your continued belief in our mission keeps us striving to do better every day. This recognition as a Top Workplace confirms that we are on the right path, and we look forward to continuing this journey with you.
Onward…!
