My experience with early childhood conditions began when my older son was diagnosed with autism at 2 or 3 years old.
We had to scramble to look for resources. Even in the San Francisco Bay, even with the willingness to private pay, it was extremely hard to find any provider that had availability.

About us
As a team of parents and clinicians dedicated to neurodivergent care, the 45% decrease in practicing clinicians had a personal impact.
- Long waitlists
- Lack of access in underserved areas
- Parental disempowerment
- Parental and provider overwhelm and burnout
We decided to design a platform to use AI the way it’s meant to be used: not to replace humans, but to free up clinicians’ time so more kids can get the care they need.
To serve parents of neurodivergent kids more directly, we built an app to relieve the isolation and hopelessness some parents feel while they wait sometimes a year or more for care. Frontera Parents connects you with clinicians within 24 hours, teaches co-regulation strategies for parents, and aims to reduce autism parent burnout with curated resources to help you understand your child and connect with other parents who have the same questions you do.
A helping hand
The app is free for a limited time, because we want to get it into parents’ hands–so they can help their kids by helping themselves.
