THE PROBLEM

Children are not receiving necessary early intervention services

Estimated that 20% of children ages 3 and under (2.5M children) are eligible for Early Intervention Services

Only 3.7% (97k children) are receiving early intervention services

THE SOLUTION

Comprehensive, holistic care for early childhood delays, developed and tested within Boston Children’s Hospital.

We start with our proprietary, self-administered developmental assessment & a virtual consult with specialists in areas of need. We then connect each child to the services they need, whether that be one specialist or many.

We care for the whole child with an emphasis on parent and caregiver coaching to enhance clinical care and improve outcomes. And we service children ages 0-6 (rather than the typical ages 0-3) to ensure children have ongoing care & a more seamless transition to school systems.

OUR VISION

Empower all parents with the tools and quality support they need to help their child thrive.
