• Focus on Collaboration: At Cortica, we don’t just implement therapy—we collaborate with families, caregivers, and other clinicians to create individualized care plans that empower everyone involved. This approach ensures that each child’s unique needs are met, and that the entire team is aligned in their goals for success.
• Quality Over Quantity: We take pride in value-based care partnerships with health plans that prioritize quality over quantity. Our patients benefit from the time we dedicate to collaborative, integrated care , and our clinicians are supported with more time for thoughtful clinical decision-making. Unlike other providers, we are reimbursed based on outcomes , not just the number of sessions delivered.

By joining Cortica, you’ll be part of a team that’s redefining ABA therapy—combining compassion, innovation, and collaboration to deliver results that matter.
