Why Thrive After 3 Works
Thrive After 3 (TA3) is a structured, after-school ADHD skills program built on our trademarked SPIREMethod, designed to strengthen executive functioning, emotional regulation, and attentional control. Students participate in engaging, small-group sessions led by licensed clinicians and certified ADHD coaches, where evidence-based strategies are taught and practiced in real time—so skills move from concept to daily use. Parents are an essential, parallel part of the program. While students build skills after school, parents are equipped with shared language, simple tools, and realistic guidance to reinforce those skills at home. TA3 meets kids when energy is low and frustration is high, and supports parents in reducing power struggles, micromanaging, and burnout. The result: students gain confidence, independence, and emotional control—while families experience calmer, more connected evenings.
Participants meet twice weekly to strengthen core domains of executive functioning—including attention management, organization, impulse control, planning, and frustration tolerance—through experiential learning and skills practice. TA3’s dual-component model extends beyond the child intervention by providing parents with weekly psychoeducational video modules and bi-weekly live consultation sessions to promote alignment in language, strategies, and expectations across settings. By combining connection, repetition, and contextualized application, Thrive After 3 bridges the gap between clinical intervention and daily functioning, enabling students to generalize learned skills and sustain meaningful behavioral change across environments.
