Positive Development is the only autism care provider delivering developmental therapy at scale, positioning the company as the clear leader in this fast-growing category.

积极发展是唯一一家大规模提供发展治疗的自闭症护理机构，使该公司成为这一快速增长领域的明确领导者。

The autism care market faces a crisis. Costs are climbing as autism diagnoses increase, with traditional, intensive Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) interventions for autistic children costing $50,000 to $70,000 per child per year (before adding speech, occupational therapy and/or any other healthcare needs).

自闭症护理市场面临危机。随着自闭症诊断数量的增加，成本不断攀升，传统密集型应用行为分析（ABA）干预每年每名自闭症儿童的费用为 50,000 至 70,000 美元（在未添加语言、职业治疗和/或其他任何医疗需求之前）。

At the same time, health plans are seeking innovative, value-based care options that better serve families..

同时，健康计划正在寻求创新的、基于价值的护理选项，以更好地服务家庭。

Positive Development's model is built on Developmental Relationship-Based Interventions (DRBI): a family of relationship-centered approaches grounded in developmental science and academic research. Positive Development’s model integrates speech, occupational and mental health therapies with technology and real-time data to improve care quality and parent experience.

积极发展的模型基于发展关系干预法（DRBI）：这是一系列以关系为中心、基于发展科学和学术研究的方法。积极发展的模型整合了语言、职业和心理健康治疗，并结合技术与实时数据，以提高护理质量和家长体验。

Unlike traditional autism therapy, DRBI therapies are lower intensity by design, delivering measurable outcomes in fewer hours and at a lower cost. On average, the cost of Positive Development’s care model is 50% less than a comparable ABA program..

与传统的自闭症疗法不同，DRBI 疗法设计上强度较低，能在更少的时间内以更低的成本提供可衡量的结果。平均而言，Positive Development 的护理模式成本比类似的 ABA 项目低 50%。

“Positive Development’s ability to improve outcomes and reduce the total cost of care is directly aligned with aMoon’s mission to partner with exceptional companies who are advancing solutions that will transform healthcare and help people live healthier, better lives,” said Dr. Tomer Berkovitz, Managing Partner at aMoon.

“Positive Development改善结果和降低护理总成本的能力，与aMoon的使命直接契合，即与卓越的公司合作，推动将改变医疗保健并帮助人们过上更健康、更好的生活的解决方案，”aMoon管理合伙人Tomer Berkovitz博士表示。

“Their unique developmental therapy model brings accessibility and affordability to systems in desperate need of change, and their extensive partnerships with payers and Medicaid programs showcase their success. We look forward to partnering with the team to help the company expand and scale to serve more families.”.

“他们独特的发展治疗模型为急需改变的系统带来了可及性和可负担性，他们与支付方和医疗补助计划的广泛合作展示了他们的成功。我们期待与团队合作，帮助公司扩展和服务更多家庭。”

“This funding allows us to continue expanding a model that’s working for families, providers and payers,” said Mike Suiters, Co-founder and CEO of Positive Development. “As the nation’s leading provider of developmental autism care, we’re focused on making high-quality, relationship-based support more accessible and affordable.

“这笔资金使我们能够继续扩展一个为家庭、服务提供者和支付方都有效的模式，”Positive Development的联合创始人兼首席执行官迈克·苏特斯表示。“作为全国领先的发育自闭症护理提供者，我们专注于让高质量、基于关系的支持更加可及和负担得起。"

We’re grateful to aMoon, B Capital, and all our investors for helping us move this important work forward.”.

我们感谢 aMoon、B Capital 以及所有投资者帮助我们推动这项重要工作向前发展。”

Positive Development will use the funds to grow its DRBI-based care model by expanding within new and existing markets, investing in new health plan and state Medicaid partnerships, and advancing its proprietary technology and AI platform that improves upon the efficiency, experience and quality of care..

积极发展公司将利用这笔资金通过拓展新旧市场、投资新的健康计划和州医疗补助合作伙伴关系，以及推进其专有的技术和人工智能平台来发展其基于DRBI的护理模式，从而提高护理的效率、体验和质量。

“Autistic children and families deserve affordable options that are tailored to their unique strengths and challenges, and our healthcare system needs options that don’t break the bank,” said B Capital Partner, Adam Seabrook. “Positive Development’s relationship-based, developmental therapy approach and alternative payment model are the future of autism care, and we’re excited to help the company continue to build out these important services to make care more accessible and affordable.”.

“自闭症儿童和家庭应该得到根据他们独特的优势和挑战量身定制的、负担得起的选择，我们的医疗系统需要不会让家庭破产的选项，”B Capital合伙人亚当·西布鲁克表示。“Positive Development的关系导向型发展治疗方法和替代支付模式代表了自闭症护理的未来，我们很高兴能够帮助该公司继续扩展这些重要服务，使护理更加便捷和经济实惠。”

As part of the Series C round, Dr. Tomer Berkovitz of aMoon has joined Positive Development’s Board of Directors.

作为C轮融资的一部分，aMoon的汤姆·伯科维茨博士已加入Positive Development的董事会。

About Positive Development’s Model

关于积极发展模式

Positive Development focuses on play-based developmental therapy based in Developmental Relationship-Based Interventions (DRBI). This family of approaches optimizes outcomes for autistic children by supporting interactions that recognize their innate motivations and constitutional differences, supported by trusting relationships and safe connections.

积极发展专注于基于游戏的发展治疗，采用发展关系干预（DRBI）。这一系列方法通过支持互动来优化自闭症儿童的成果，这些互动认可他们的内在动机和先天差异，并通过信任的关系和安全的联系提供支持。

DRBI is less invasive, more empowering and requires less time to see progress than other autism care models. Positive Development encourages and supports parents to participate in their child’s care program. With coaching, parents strengthen meaningful interactions with their child through playful engagement that follows the child's intent while challenging them to extend their ideas and abilities.

DRBI的侵入性较小，更赋予能力，并且比其他自闭症护理模式需要更少的时间来看到进展。正面发展鼓励和支持父母参与孩子的护理计划。通过指导，父母通过跟随孩子意图的游戏互动加强与孩子的有意义互动，同时挑战他们扩展自己的想法和能力。
