Meet your Autism Specialist & ThriveGuide Creator
Hi! I'm Jonathan Alderson,
autism specialist, Harvard graduate, and author of Challenging the Myths of Autism.
I've worked with over 2,000 autistic children and their families. The parents I meet all say the same thing: their child's team spends more time managing behavior than teaching — and no one is helping them make the most of the time they already have at home.
That's what ThriveGuide is for. Your child's team works with your child. ThriveGuide works with you — helping you turn everyday moments into real progress.
ThriveGuide identifies exactly what's getting in the way of your child's learning, and gives you goals, skills, and strategies to work on yourself, during the hours of the day when it's just you and your child.

I love it! My child has been on the wait list for 2 years she's 3 now and I haven't heard a thing, so I really needed something to help and this really helped me so thank you!!
Sierra
It made me aware of the fact that I'm not always thinking about the receptivity of my child when making requests and will more actively try to be aware of that going forward.
Nathan
It gives you more of an in-depth look into the mind of your child all while giving you the tools to help them better succeed in life.

It's fast, easy to understand and gave me tips I can use at home with all of my children.

I think it's very simple but to the point. It's helpful. Thank you.

Very beneficial to assist me in identifying when to engage with my child and how to better get their attention to make requests for next steps in our day.

I love it because it’s making me realize how things need to be addressed in an environment where my son has a short attention span!

It is amazing I love that he shows you how to get on the child's level. A lot of ppl do not understand autism, so it's very helpful that he shows you what to do.

HOW IT WORKS
First, we Identify your child's unique learning barriers
It starts with an in-depth, 360 degree child profile intake including several standardized psychometrics.
Every autistic child faces unique challenges.
These barriers get in the way of them showing with their best studentship at school, ABA therapy, speech and other therapies. Parents can see there is something blocking their autistic child’s intelligence.
ThriveGuide identifies the highest priority early-learning barriers so parents can immediately address them.
Next, you get a parenting action plan to reduce the barriers
Parents spend the most time with their children, so we believe they should be the most supported!
Our autism specialist team has designed Parenting Goals and step-by-step Action Plans that reduce the barriers during daily parent-child routines and play time.
Our autism specialists explain the insights and your goals in everyday language in audio clips you can listen to on the go!
Celebrate progress towards more Best Days
We believe Change IS Possible and we celebrate small steps along the way.
Crush your parenting goals and earn certificates - all at your own pace.
See your child become more receptive to learning and have more “Best Days” at school, in programs, in therapy and at home.
