About Cortica

Cortica was founded to fix the fragmented journey families typically navigate while seeking diagnoses and therapies for their children. Our collaborative team of doctors, therapists, and counselors provide neurodiverse children with personalized ABA, medical, and developmental therapies – all in one place. We see accelerated growth when all four areas of care work in concert. It’s a comprehensive approach that’s greater than the sum of its parts, and it produces life-changing results. Our approach produces superior outcomes and extraordinarily high satisfaction ratings from families.
