FORTA’S MISSION:

Forta is clearing the path to quality healthcare by delivering the best possible outcomes with the utmost convenience. 1 in 36 children [CDC, 2023] is diagnosed to be on the autism spectrum.  Currently, autism support via Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is difficult to access and the delivery model must be expanded to provide earlier access to families.  

Forta is not only providing ABA services to our clients, but we’re also improving the future of the ABA experience for families by creating software and predictive algorithms that elevate clinicians to work smarter by surfacing the latest and most relevant case data.  We are working diligently to continuously improve the patient journey and deliver personalized care by applying smart technology and investing in the growth of our world-class team.  

At Forta, we are reinventing how we deliver ABA support so families can get the care they need, without long waitlists. Our ABA Parent Training Course empowers families to work directly with BCBAs to deliver quality, certified care. We’re also improving the future of the ABA experience for families by creating software and predictive algorithms that help clinicians work smarter with the latest and most effective care knowledge.

We are looking for you! A driven, reliable, innovative, and patient-focused individual to join our team as we reinvent the care and tools available to neuro-diverse families.
