What Conscious Kids Orange County, CA does

Conscious Kids is a clinic-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy provider founded in 2022 and headquartered at 16430 Bake Parkway, Irvine, California. The company serves children between the ages of one and ten, including those diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, children with developmental delays, and neurotypical children requiring behavioral, learning, or social-skills support. Its core service is intensive 1:1 ABA treatment delivered by Registered Behavior Technicians under Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) supervision, using evidence-based methodologies such as Discrete Trial Training (DTT) and play-based therapy. Supporting services include parent consultation, staff training with a month-long onboarding program, and pediatric neuropsychological evaluations delivered through a partnership with Dr. Alexander Tan, Ph.D., who also serves at Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC).

The company generates revenue primarily through insurance-funded ABA therapy billed to Aetna, Blue Shield Magellan, Anthem Blue Cross, United Healthcare, and CalOptima, with weekly out-of-pocket co-pays collected via the Tebra platform until deductible maximums are met. Beyond the core ABA clinic, Conscious Kids has launched two adjacent sub-brands: Conscious Kids Academics, a private homeschool program launched in June 2024 (consciouskidsacademics.com), and Conscious Kids Speech, a speech therapy service launching in 2025 (consciouskidsspeech.net). The firm is privately held and founder-owned, led by Clinic Founder & Director Brooke Byrd, M.S., and Co-Director Aisha Dilday, M.S.

Go-to-market is community- and referral-driven, relying on organic search, insurance provider recommendations, and word-of-mouth from existing families rather than paid advertising. In-person tours serve as the primary conversion mechanism, though the clinic is currently at capacity with tours paused until February or March 2026, indicating demand exceeding current clinical throughput. The company operates exclusively from its single Irvine location and serves only the Orange County market.
