WA DDA Services
Practical support. Meaningful progress. Real-world impact.
At Strides, our Washington DDA services are designed around one central question: what would improve this individual’s quality of life?
From there, we build individualized support systems that help individuals develop practical skills, increase independence, improve safety, strengthen communication, and navigate everyday challenges more successfully.
We work collaboratively with caregivers, support staff, and providers to build effective strategies that improve consistency, communication, independence, and overall quality of support — practical, sustainable solutions that work in real-life environments, not plans that only work on paper.
Life Skills services focus on helping individuals build the abilities needed to navigate daily life more independently and confidently.
Our stabilization services support individuals and support systems during periods of increased behavioral, emotional, environmental, or placement-related challenges. The goal is not simply short-term crisis response — it is helping create sustainable systems that improve safety, reduce overwhelm, and support long-term success.
Through our center-based respite offerings, individuals have opportunities for structured community engagement, social connection, recreation, and skill development in a supportive environment led by experienced staff. Currently accepting clients for our Summer Respite program.

Our team develops comprehensive, individualized assessments and Positive Behavior Support Plans designed to identify meaningful supports, improve quality of life, and reduce barriers to success. Plans are collaborative, practical, and focused on proactive strategies across environments and support teams.
Why Strides
Strides is locally owned and operated by Board Certified Behavior Analysts who remain actively involved in service quality, staff development, and clinical oversight.
Our team regularly supports individuals with high-acuity, multi-system, and complex support needs across home and community settings — stepping into challenging situations with creativity, structure, and practical problem-solving.
Because Strides offers multiple levels of behavioral, developmental, and community-based services, individuals benefit from a more connected continuum of care that evolves alongside their needs.
We focus on outcomes that improve everyday life: greater independence, improved communication, increased safety, reduced caregiver stress, and stronger coping and adaptive skills.
Our Approach
We understand that many families and support teams come to us after exhausting other options or being told a situation is “too complex.”
At Strides, we believe individuals deserve support systems built around possibility, not limitations. Our role is not simply to manage challenges, but to help individuals and the people supporting them build safer, more connected, and more independent lives over time.
Our team is here to guide you through assessments, funding options, and service recommendations — with transparency and support every step of the way.
