Core offering

Strive Northwest is a community-based nonprofit social services organization that delivers educational, therapeutic, and employment programs for children and adults in the Pacific Northwest. Its core offerings include preschool programs (Early Learning and ECEAP), pediatric therapy (speech, occupational, and physical therapy) and early intervention for children from birth through age 21, plus supported employment services for adults with disabilities. Programs are delivered directly at the Vancouver, Washington campus and through community outreach, with free or reduced tuition available for eligible families.

Product overview

Innovative Services NW (now Strive Northwest) is a social services organization offering a coordinated suite of programs for children and adults. The portfolio includes Early Learning Programs for children aged 12 months to 5 years (with free/reduced tuition options), ECEAP (Early Childhood Education Assistance Program), Pediatric Therapy Programs offering speech, occupational, and physical therapies from birth through age 21, Early Intervention Services, and Employment Services providing supported employment with career planning, job development, and ongoing supports for adults with disabilities. These programs are designed to build self-reliance through educational, therapeutic, and employment services delivered as interconnected service lines rather than a unified software product.
