About Us

Cognoa is an early childhood development and pediatric behavioral health company. We develop digital diagnostics and therapeutics that enable earlier and more equitable access to care to improve the lives and outcomes of children and families.

We’re starting with autism.

We are clinicians and data scientists, engineers and innovators, friends and family of children with developmental differences. We are united in our belief in the power of knowing and the right of every child and family to access early interventions. 
 
With innovative, scientifically proven technology, a whole child approach, unwavering support of families, and in partnership with the healthcare community, Cognoa is transforming the path to care as we know it.
