Kyo
Kyo provides in-home, in-school and community-based applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy for children, supported by the Kyo Care app, across 11 US states.
Kyo is a child-centric provider of applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy for children and their families. Founded in 2005 in San Francisco, California, the company delivers individualized therapy programs in homes, schools and community settings rather than in clinics. It reports serving thousands of families across 11 states in America. It was established by a former special education teacher and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) motivated by improving families' access to quality services.
Its therapy programs are built around each child's interests and strengths and use play-based techniques that turn everyday moments into learning opportunities. The company states that it measures success by outcomes rather than therapy hours. Treatment plans are shaped through collaboration among BCBAs, behavior therapists, program supervisors and families, and practice is grounded in current research through a dedicated Scientific Advisory Board.
Technology forms part of the service model. The Kyo Care app connects families, therapists and supervisors with real-time updates on child progress and scheduling. The company's areas of work include behavioral therapy, outcomes measurement and progress tracking, mobile application development for healthcare, and the application of evidence-based research. Its operating sectors span pediatric healthcare, behavioral health, autism services, special education, and family and child services.
