OUR VISION

Early Bird is founded on the belief that autism is diverse, complex, colorful, and distinct to the person and family—any effective autism therapy must be dynamic and adapt to the individual’s unique needs.

It’s Time for Innovation

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.”

— Rita Mae Brown

At Early Bird, we have taken a completely different approach—building an innovative solution with the technology and tools to deliver it.

OUR MISSION

Transform how we THINK about autism

Remove barriers to accessing care

Deliver whole-person, personalized care

Peyman’s Story

As an Autism Parent, I have personally experienced the challenges of finding adequate treatment. Having talked to hundreds of families and professionals over the years, I know that my experience is not unique and isolated.

I decided to use my background in law, business and technology and apply it to this area of treatment that's in desperate need of improvement. Having built two successful telehealth companies before, I felt a calling to buid a better solution for a community that's so near and dear to my heart.

I have assembled the ideal team of experts who share my vision and bring with them the expertise and dedication necessary to achieve our goal.

“The ones that are crazy enough to think that they can change the world are the ones who do.”

— Steve Jobs

Elia’s Story

I have always been deeply committed to understanding and amplifying the stories of those in my community who have gone unheard. Growing up I saw the many injustices of a broken system on people who needed help, resources, and support. Early on, I decided to dedicate my life to solving social problems.

I pursued an education and career in autism care – Connecting with my community on a personal level while coming up with creative and useful solutions to their needs. I realized I couldn’t make a big enough impact following the ‘status quo’ of in-person delivery of autism care, so I decided to shift my clinical practice to telehealth in 2018.

I did make a greater impact. But I knew I could do more.

Early Bird is the brain-child of two overly determined people who have been profoundly impacted by autism -- My biggest vision for Early Bird is to provide innovative autism care solutions to as many families and individuals as possible.
