Stride Autism Centers

We’re proud to announce that our COO, Emily Patrizi, is speaking at WIBA 2025 (Women in Behavior Analysis), a national conference that brings together leaders in our field to advance innovation, elevate important conversations, and share best practices.

Emily will be part of two important sessions:

1️⃣ Making Ethical Transition and Discharge Decisions

How can we better support families when services come to an end? This presentation offers practical frameworks to help clinicians navigate transitions with empathy and clarity.

2️⃣ Strengthening Ethical Decision-Making Through Intentional Practice

This session will explore how clinicians can build everyday habits that support sound, confident decision-making, even in complex situations.

At Stride, we believe leadership means engaging in these conversations and helping push the field forward.

⚾ Take me out to the ballgame…

This summer, our Stride teams and their loved ones came together for a day at the ballpark, one of our favorite ways to connect outside the clinic. It was all about hot dogs, home runs, and high-fives with our amazing colleagues.

We may work in different clinics across the region, but we’re one team. And these shared moments make us stronger.

🍉☀️Nothing says summer like a Stride picnic! ☀️🍉 Each year, our team members and their families gather for one of our favorite traditions: the Stride Summer Picnic. With BBQ, ice cream, games, laughter, and a whole lot of joy, it’s a celebration of the amazing community we’ve built together.

Our staff work at clinics across the region, so this is a special chance to connect, catch up, and strengthen the bonds that make Stride such a warm and supportive place to work. Here are some pics from our get together.

🎉 What a day in ! We were overjoyed by the amazing turnout at our Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at Stride Autism Centers’ newest location! A heartfelt thank you to our incredible team members (and their families), current Stride clients, and the many prospective families who joined us. From spin art and bubbles to delicious food and open house tours. It was a joy to share the day with you.

We love creating spaces where our community can come together, connect, and celebrate milestones like this one. If you’re in the area and looking for ABA services, come visit us at 349 Edgewood Rd NW.

We’re proud to be part of this wonderful community here in Cedar Rapids, the City of Five Seasons. 🌿

✈️ Buckle up—Stride Airlines just took off (again)!

Summer travel is in full swing and Stride flies in style. Our team transformed the clinic into a full-blown airport and airplane, boarding passes, flight announcements, snack service, and all!

Why? To help our young clients practice the real-world experience of flying in a safe, joyful, and supportive environment. What started as one child’s personalized plan is now a beloved annual tradition. This year’s destination? Hawaii! 🌺

Our little travelers practiced:
✔️ Following directions
✔️ Sitting with peers
✔️ Making choices
✔️ Managing transitions

All while having a blast. That’s the Stride way, therapy that’s playful, purposeful, and unforgettable.

We’re already counting down to next year’s flight. ✈️🌈

Our "Stride Airlines" event uses a fun, simulated flight experience to help children with autism build life skills in a supportive environment. Learn More!

We have exciting news to share! Stride has received full accreditation from the Autism Commission on Quality (ACQ) in Illinois, Iowa, and Nebraska!

Even better—we’re proud to be the first ABA provider in to earn this important recognition.

This means that families can count on us for high-quality, trusted care that meets strict standards. It’s a big milestone for our team and for the communities we serve—especially those who haven’t always had easy access to support.

We’re thankful to our amazing staff and families who help make Stride what it is.
