We are a rapidly growing healthcare company pioneering a unique, interdisciplinary approach to the care of children with neurodevelopmental conditions.  We envision a world where seeing doctors, therapists and getting the best care for a child with autism or other developmental differences is easy.  We serve a variety of patient populations including individuals with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, speech and language disorders, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, genetic conditions, and more.

You’ll receive training and support to learn to apply these therapies to optimize developmental outcomes for your patients. Cortica utilizes a comprehensive set of standardized assessments to track developmental outcomes. You’ll gain a deep understanding of these assessments and will use outcome metrics to guide your patients’ comprehensive therapy programs.
