What is the value of the program?
If you hired each expert, joined every community, and purchased each guide separately, you would easily spend over $1,700—and still not have the same level of proactive, therapist-led clarity and structure that ThriveScreen™ delivers. In addition, it helps to prevent more costly interventions like helmets and prolonged therapy which could add an additional $3000+
But you get this expertise for just $127.
No subscriptions. No hidden fees.
Just one simple investment in early confidence, trusted guidance, and peace of mind that lasts well beyond the first year.
Is ThriveScreen™ a medical evaluation or physical therapy?
No—ThriveScreen™ is a self guided wellness screening and ongoing wellness program, not a medical evaluation or therapy session. It’s designed to educate and empower families, not diagnose or replace your pediatrician’s care. If a concern is identified, we’ll guide you toward the right next steps with a qualified provider.
Who is ThriveScreen™ best for?
ThriveScreen™ is for parents, caregivers and anyone working with expecting parents or parents in the first year who want to take a proactive, not reactive, approach to their baby’s development. It’s perfect for families who believe prevention is powerful — who’d rather have the tools to support their baby early than wait until something feels “off.”
ThriveScreen™ takes the guesswork out of early development. Whether you’re navigating your first baby or adding another little one to the family, it helps you feel grounded, informed, and empowered—without fear or overwhelm.
Who created ThriveScreen™?
ThriveScreen™ was created by Dr. Jena Schultz, PT, DPT, PCS, a board-certified pediatric physical therapist with over a decade of experience helping families understand and support healthy development. ThriveScreen™ brings together research, therapist insight, and parent-friendly tools to make proactive care the new normal.
Is it too late to join if my baby is older than one month?
Not at all. While the ThriveScreen™ was designed to support from birth and ideally started prior to 1 month of age—when little adjustments can make the biggest impact—it’s never too late to support your baby’s development.
Babies grow and change so quickly in the first year, and every stage brings new opportunities to promote healthy movement, development, and connection. Even if your baby is 3, 6, or 9 months old, ThriveScreen™ can help you understand what’s happening now, what’s coming next, and how to set your baby up for success.
Many parents actually join later—after noticing a side preference, flat spot, or tummy time challenge—and leave feeling relieved, informed, and confident about what to do moving forward. Whether you’re just getting started or catching up, you’ll walk away with actionable guidance tailored to your baby’s stage and needs.
Is this the same as early intervention?
Not quite. Early intervention is an incredible resource—but it usually starts after a concern has already been identified. ThriveScreen™ takes the opposite approach.
Instead of waiting for flat spots, feeding struggles, or motor delays to appear, ThriveScreen™ helps you understand how to prevent them through early education and positioning awareness. It’s the step before intervention—where you get the knowledge, confidence, and daily strategies to support your baby’s development from the very start.
We believe in early action, not just early reaction. When families are equipped with the right tools at 1 month, they’re often able to avoid the stress, cost, and worry that come later.
Can this replace my pediatrician visit or therapy?
No—and it’s not meant to. ThriveScreen™ is designed to complement your baby’s medical care, not replace it.
Your pediatrician focuses on things like weight, feeding, vaccines, and medical health. ThriveScreen™ focuses on how your baby moves, plays, and interacts—areas that are just as important for long-term development but often overlooked in quick wellness checks.
We partner beautifully with your existing care team by giving you tools for prevention, positioning, and purposeful play at home. Think of your pediatrician and ThriveScreen™ as two parts of the same goal: helping your baby thrive from every angle.
What if a concern is found?
If your screening uncovers something that could benefit from more support—like limited neck motion, head flattening, or movement asymmetries—you won’t be left wondering what to do next.
You’ll receive clear, actionable steps to take, including:
-
How to bring up your observations with your pediatrician
-
Guidance for connecting with a licensed therapist or early intervention provider if needed in our extensive network of approved providers
Our goal isn’t to create fear—it’s to empower you with clarity. Most families leave feeling relieved, not worried, because they finally understand what’s normal, what’s not, and what’s next.
What is ThriveScreen™ working to prevent?
Most families don’t realize how expensive “wait and see” can become until it’s too late.
When small issues go unaddressed in the first few months, they often lead to larger interventions later—more appointments, more stress, and more time spent trying to fix what could have been prevented.
Here’s what those costs can look like:
-
Helmet therapy for flat head: $1,500–$3,000 or more, plus multiple follow-up visits and fittings. Occasionally covered by insurance, but not always.
-
Physical or occupational therapy: $50–$200 per session depending on coverage. Weekly visits for 3–6 months can easily total $600–$4,000.
-
Missed work and appointment time: Dozens of hours lost to driving, scheduling, and coordinating care.
-
Emotional stress: The uncertainty and guilt that come from wondering if you could have done something sooner.
The earlier parents are guided, the fewer interventions babies tend to need later. ThriveScreen™ was built for this exact purpose—to help you act before those costs begin to pile up.
One early screening and education program: $57 for course only with $70 ongoing community and daily activity support.
Peace of mind and prevention: priceless.
When you choose ThriveScreen™, you’re not just buying a course—you’re investing in clarity, confidence, and the comfort of knowing you’re already doing the most important thing: starting early.
