The Hospital Built Around a Small but Radical Idea: Kids Aren't Tiny Adults
For more than a century, Children's Minnesota has designed care around the biology, fears and families of young patients. Its scale is large, but its strategic advantage is unusually specific: everything is built for kids.
Opya
Opya is a California-based early intervention therapy provider specializing in comprehensive, multidisciplinary care for children aged 18 months to 6 years diagnosed with autism. The company delivers Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), speech therapy, occupational therapy, and feeding therapy through in-home, clinic-based, and telehealth models across Northern and Southern California. Backed by $34.7M in total funding including a $15.4M Series A in 2021 from investors including SoftBank's SB Opportunity Fund, Opya is one of only eight ABA providers in California to hold BHCOE (Behavioral Health Center of Excellence) accreditation. In 2024, the company expanded into center-based care through the acquisition of Center for Autism Spectrum Therapy (CAST) and began operating under the Spectrum Pride brand.
