Jessica has worked for Thrive for many years and we have a conversation about her role and experiences with The Thrive Center!
On a student who she’s seen improve due to services. “He still needs some help...but even his decoding, his reading and everything has gotten so much better”
“I’ve had a student for a few years now who, at the beginning, his attention span was so short, and he would get frustrated. But now I see him, and he’s able to express himself better and is able to conversate with me about his day. He is also able to sit still better and his reading has improved tremendously.”
