Weekly Update September 11, 2026
Strive Center for Autism
Fun Friday Friendly Competition
All summer long, kids and staff dressed up for our silly Fun Fridays! Amongst the staff, we vote weekly on the "best dressed" for each themed Friday. Last week, we voted for our "Very Best Dressed" from each building for the whole summer. Our winners were Cathlyn in Burton and Sarah in Brighton! To the right is Cathlyn's winning look from Mismatch Day.
Here's Sarah's winning look on Red, White, and Blue day!
Thank you to all the kids and staff who dressed up and made our summer so fun! We love seeing all the different looks.
Meet the team!

New Software Coming Soon!
We are excited to share that our center is transitioning to iCare, a management software designed to streamline our communications, scheduling, and student records.
Over the next several weeks, our staff will be working behind the scenes to set up and update all student and family profiles. As we enter this information into the system, you may receive automated email notifications or invitations from iCare.
Please feel free to disregard these emails for now! To keep things simple and ensure everything is fully configured, we ask that you hold off on logging in or creating your account until we have completed the setup process.
Once all profiles are fully updated, we will send out an official announcement with clear instructions on how to log in, review your account, and confirm that your family's information is correct.
Thank you so much for your patience and support as we make this upgrade to better serve your family! If you have any urgent questions in the meantime, please feel free to reach out to our office managers by calling 810-344-8082 ext. 1 for Brighton, ext. 2 for Burton.
