About Us
Our Story
Our founder, Jonathan Wright draws inspiration from his mother — a dedicated adolescent psychiatrist who devoted her life to caring for children with severe mental illnesses.
With a career spanning over 20 years in the healthcare and technology sectors, Jonathan recognized that he could also have a meaningful impact on families by creating a better autism therapy option for young children.
