Kadiant

What Kadiant does

Kadiant is a multi-state Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy provider serving individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder across approximately seven U.S. regions. Formed in 2019 through the consolidation of eight legacy ABA providers (BECA, Capitol Autism, CVAP, IBS, KOI, Pathfinder, Payne, and STE Consultants), the company delivers individualized ABA treatment programs through Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) across four settings: in-home, center-based clinics, school districts, and telehealth. Operational technology is built primarily on third-party infrastructure: CentralReach provides HIPAA-compliant session-level data capture, scheduling, and a parent portal, while Microsoft Teams is used as the HIPAA/HITECH-compliant telehealth transport layer. Supporting services include autism diagnosis as a gateway into therapy and BCBA-supervised school consultations.

The company reports approximately 1,200 team members serving more than 2,000 families, with physical clinics in California (Sacramento, Elk Grove, Rocklin, Fresno, Riverbank, Stockton, Long Beach), Georgia (Decatur, Duluth, Flowery Branch), Ohio (Columbus, with Dublin opening in April), and Oregon (Beaverton). East Coast coverage across Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington D.C. is delivered through a 2022 strategic partnership with Attain ABA Therapy. Kadiant's revenue is generated almost exclusively through insurance reimbursement for medically-necessary ABA services, with the company credentialed across major U.S. commercial payers (United Healthcare, Cigna, Optum, Aetna, Anthem, Kaiser Permanente, Blue Cross) and Medicaid in select jurisdictions such as Ventura County. Go-to-market is direct-to-family, driven by a website intake funnel, insurance verification through a Client Care Navigators team, and referrals from healthcare providers and school districts; talent sourcing is supported by formal partnerships with five universities (Capella, North Central University, Florida Institute of Technology, National University, Regis College) offering discounted ABA coursework to employees.

Leadership includes CEO Lani Fritts and Chief Compliance and Privacy Officer Tammi Keating. The company remains private with no disclosed funding rounds; no parent organization, subsidiary acquisitions, or public-company ownership structures are evidenced. The company maintains HIPAA, HITECH, and CCPA/CPRA compliance and is a member of the Council on Autism Spectrum Disorders Providers (CASP).
