About Us:

Ladder Health is a virtual-first early intervention service for children (0-6) and their families. Ladder uses a novel and proprietary technology platform to screen children for developmental delays, recommend consult/evaluation appointments with relevant providers, and facilitate virtual visits with licensed therapists on an ongoing basis. Families and caregivers can monitor their child’s progress, message with their providers, and utilize an expansive library of caregiver-mediated interventions to help address therapy goals in between appointments. Ladder Health is prioritizing North Carolina as the next expansion opportunity and actively hiring to meet the demand. Please note: Ladder Health is a multi-disciplinary offering for young children but is not a state affiliated program.
