WHO 13 News Spotlights Stride Autism Centers’ ABA Therapy Services During Autism Acceptance Month

DES MOINES, Iowa -- As part of its Autism Acceptance Month efforts, WHO 13 News - Des Moines's local NBC station - sat down with Brad Zelinger, Founder and CEO at Stride Autism Centers. Not only did they discuss the new Stride location opening up in Des Moines, but Zelinger and Anchor, Erin Kiernan, also explored effective treatment for kids with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

At the top of the interview, they discussed Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy, which Zelinger described as the "Gold Standard" in treatment for individuals with autism. He explained that at Stride, they use ABA to customize a treatment plan to help young children overcome their unique challenges.

Kiernan shared that her own son attends an ABA program. Her primary takeaway, she said, was that she often observes her son and other children playing as part of the program.

"The most effective therapy is when it's fun," Zelinger explained. He said that Stride Autism Centers specializes in supporting children ages 2-6. "They're really young and they should be playing and having a good time, and there's a lot of research supporting that. The more fun kids are having, the more engaged they are in those skill-building exercises," he said.

Zelinger also shared how the founding of Stride was born of his experiences with his older sister, Marissa, who has Rett syndrome, a severe autism-related disorder. "Knowing that there was a type of therapy that could make a huge difference and change the arc of someone's life, and not only for them but for their whole family, I decided to leave my old career in the business world to build something that would make an impact."

The result is Stride Autism Centers, which currently operates sixteen centers throughout Iowa, Illinois, and Nebraska, with new locations in the works. One of them, in particular, will be opening right in the heart of Des Moines. This will be the fourth Stride location in the greater Des Moines area.

"I'm really motivated to bring this type of care to communities in need," Zelinger said as the interview wrapped up.

Stride Autism Centers Expands Its Presence in Illinois with New Orland Park Location

ORLAND PARK, Ill. -- Committed to assisting preschool aged children with autism and their families, Stride Autism Centers ("Stride") is proud to announce the opening of a brand new location in Orland Park, Illinois. Enrollment is now open for children ages 2 to 6 at this new center, which is conveniently located at 18080 Wolf Rd. This represents Stride's tenth location in the Midwest and its third location in Illinois. The Stride team is looking forward to continuing its mission of providing effective, evidence-based therapeutic programs that help children with autism thrive in school and beyond.

Striving to serve clients no matter the specific funding source involved, Stride accepts most private insurance plans including Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, Cigna, Optum and United Healthcare.

Stride is recognized across the Midwest for providing personalized support to children as they progress through their most critical developmental periods. They exclusively serve children ages 2 to 6, and keep a 1:1 therapist-to-child ratio to enable each child to get the most attention and assistance possible. Stride's results-driven, center-based operating model allows children to participate in naturalistic group activities and expand their social skills as they connect with their peers in the program.

An important part of Stride's continued success is their exceptional team of empathetic and experienced clinicians. These clinicians use a therapeutic approach based in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, which has been thoroughly evaluated and is widely regarded as the gold standard of autism treatment. Each child that participates in Stride's full-day program gets a fully customized treatment plan meticulously crafted by one of the organization's Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA).

Brad Zelinger, Stride's Founder and CEO, explained that "Stride's mission to provide the best possible support to children with autism and their families is deeply personal to me. My sister has an autism-related disorder called Rett Syndrome. She is nonverbal, and requires substantial support in everyday activities. I founded Stride so individuals like her can get the effective therapy they need as early as possible to live more independent, joyous lives. As a Chicago native, I'm particularly motivated to bring Stride's services to underserved areas near where I was raised."

Speaking on the philosophy behind the program, Stride's Clinical Director and University Chair of ABA at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, Dr. Ashley Whittington-Barnish, PhD, LCP, BCBA-D, NCSP said that "Decades of research demonstrating the effectiveness of early intervention for children with autism underlie our decision to specialize in the early treatment of young learners."

"Our mission-driven team is incredibly motivated by Stride's unwavering commitment to meaningful outcomes. We're grateful that our singular focus on the highest quality care has allowed us to attract outstanding clinical leaders and therapists alike," Dr. Whittington-Barnish added.
