Shaping the Future of Person-Centered Care
Informed by real-world data and driven by clinical innovation, Catalight is reshaping the future of autism and intellectual and developmental disability care with a curated suite of solutions that deliver predictable access to high-quality care.
Catalight’s care services are rooted in our clinical philosophy that starting with the right diagnosis and creating a personalized treatment plan that addresses the unique needs of the client and their entire family will deliver the best outcomes and produce greater wellbeing for all.
This philosophy requires a variety of flexible treatment options that have proven to be more affordable to the healthcare system and creates capacity for providers – ultimately opening up more access to care. Reshaping how the clinical community best serves individuals with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual developmental disabilities and their families has been slow to catch on, but at Catalight we are leading this change.

“Caregiver-led ABA helped validate me and the way I respond to Kyler. As parents, you never know if you’re doing the right thing, if you’re saying the right thing, if you’re handling a situation in the best way it could be handled. I’ve been very grateful to have support.”
Marsha
