About Opya

Opya specializes in early intervention autism therapy for children from 18 months to 6 years old. The company was founded in 2015 by Jonathan Wright, who was inspired by his mother's career as an adolescent psychiatrist. His background of over 20 years in healthcare and technology led him to establish Opya to provide a better therapy option for young children with autism.

The company provides comprehensive, in-home Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, which is complemented by telehealth services for speech, occupational, and feeding therapies. This model focuses on providing care in the child's natural environment to promote meaningful learning. Opya also offers center-based care options and uses technology to facilitate communication between clinicians, families, and staff. Its business model relies on in-network contracts with both Medicaid and commercial payers in California, making its services accessible to a wide range of families. Opya serves families across Northern and Southern California.

A significant milestone for Opya is earning a 3-year Behavioral Health Center of Excellence (BHCOE) accreditation, highlighting its commitment to clinical quality. The company has also expanded its services through acquisitions, such as the purchase of the Center for Autism Spectrum Therapy. In 2021, Opya raised $15.4 million in a Series A funding round to scale its clinical care and accelerate product innovation. Investors include Panoramic Ventures, the SB Opportunity Fund, and the Disability Opportunity Fund.
