Dealing with ADHD in young children can be a tough task. Some kids with this condition struggle with school work, frustration, and tantrums.
Getting professional help for these kids is challenging due to a shortage of psychologists, resulting in long wait times and high costs. But Clarity Pediatrics aims to change this with quicker diagnosis and therapy sessions at an affordable price.
By offering 8-week group therapy sessions for parents of kids with ADHD, Clarity Pediatrics focuses on Behavioral Parent Training (BPT), as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. This approach helps parents learn strategies to assist their children in managing ADHD symptoms.
Clarity Pediatrics has been providing online care to families in California and plans to expand its services nationally with new funding. Other startups like Brightline, Little Otter, and Bend Health are also addressing the lack of therapists for children.
Initially targeting ADHD in kids aged five to 12, Clarity Pediatrics aims to offer healthcare for additional pediatric chronic conditions in the future. The company’s leadership team brings diverse experience from Pill Club, Johnson & Johnson, UCSF, and Kaiser Permanente.
Investors like Rethink Impact recognize the growing need for specialized care for children’s chronic conditions and support Clarity’s mission to provide comprehensive healthcare for kids.
