Thrive Programs
About Thrive
Thrive is a virtual day program that brings adults with IDDs together in a supportive space for daily enrichment. Through engaging discussions on current events, arts, social media, and self-care, participants connect and learn alongside one another.
Structured sessions for stretching, ASL practice, book club, and personal development provide a well-rounded experience focused on building confidence, exploring interests, and having fun in a vibrant online community.
Engaging Daily Schedule with Diverse Academic and Recreational Topics

Morning Welcome
Start the day with gentle, seated upper-body stretches accessible for all mobility levels. We then invite each participant to share a personal affirmation or a positive thought to begin the day with a boost of positivity. Together, we enjoy a brief “feel good” video or article, setting an uplifting tone for the day ahead.

Participants take turns sharing their local weather updates and discussing weather-appropriate clothing choices. We explore a variety of local news highlights, featuring topics like Austin-area events, recent holidays, and current events.
