Kyo

Kyo is a provider of child-centric Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, delivering treatment in children's homes, schools and communities rather than in clinic settings. Founded in 2005 in San Francisco as Gateway Learning Group, the company now serves thousands of families across 11 states in America. It works in the healthcare, pediatric therapy, behavioral health and special education sectors.

The company designs individualised, outcomes-driven treatment programmes built around each child's interests and strengths, using play-based techniques that turn everyday moments into learning opportunities. It states that it measures success by outcomes rather than therapy hours delivered. Multidisciplinary teams of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), behaviour therapists and programme supervisors work in close collaboration with families, and a Scientific Advisory Board reviews approaches against current research.

Kyo develops its own technology in support of this model. The Kyo Care app is a care-coordination platform that keeps therapists and families connected, providing real-time updates on a child's progress and on scheduling. Technical work spans mobile app development and real-time progress-tracking and scheduling software.

The company was founded by a former special education teacher and BCBA, co-founder Melissa, with the aim of improving access to quality services. Its stated mission is to deliver high-quality, effective therapy that fits into families' real lives, with success measured by meaningful moments for each child and family.
