It Started with a Problem. We Built the Solution

Our story began with a shared frustration. As parents, we navigated the delays of a complex system; as clinicians, we felt the weight of its inefficiencies. We knew there had to be a better way, so we created one from the ground up.

Our Story

Built by Parents and Clinicians, for Better Care

A diverse group of four people with their hands stacked in the center, symbolizing teamwork and unity. They are gathered around a table with a large, white jigsaw puzzle placed on it.

We started Tellos because the way ABA therapy works today is broken. We saw it firsthand, as parents trying to get help for our kids, and as clinicians trying to provide it. Everything took too long. Good therapists were burning out. Families sat on waitlists while care got delayed by red tape.

So we built a better way...

Tellos gives therapists more control: over their caseload, their schedule, and how they work. It frees them from the bureaucracy that slows everything down. When therapists are supported, they stay longer. And when they stay longer, kids get better care.

Our Mission

To help kids grow into independence.

Creating Real, Visible Progress

We exist so every child can wake up one day and surprise the world; with a word they’ve never said. a step they’ve never taken or a smile they’ve never shared. We’re here to help children thrive, not by stacking hours on a calendar, but by creating real, visible progress they can feel in everyday life.

Empowering the People Who Serve Them

Our Guiding Principle

Every hire we make, every process we build, must move the needle on a child’s development or lift up the people guiding them. If it doesn’t help a child thrive or empower those who help them, it doesn’t belong at Tellos.

The Principles That Drive Us

We help children achieve the impossible by empowering their families and therapists through a culture of ownership, craft, and deep commitment.

We Care Deeply

We don’t clock in and out, we pour ourselves into the work. We push for progress, obsess over quality, and hold each other up, because we care too much not to.

We Operate Like Owners

We don't wait to be told. We see the whole picture.If something’s broken, we fix it. If no one owns it, we step in.We protect our reputation like it’s our own name, because it is.

Craft is How We Love Our Users

The way something looks, feels, and works is the product. Whether it’s a dashboard or a phone call with a parent, our default is Excellence, not average.We sweat the details, not because it’s fancy, but because people feel it.

We Communicate Early, Openly, and Often

We don’t let silence grow weeds.
We check in, clarify, sync, and say the hard things.
We don’t wait until a problem becomes a fire.

We Deliver Results. Period.

We care about effort, but we measure by results.We don’t hide behind busywork, good intentions, or long explanations; if something isn’t working, we change it. Everyone here is trusted to own their lane, and that trust comes with one expectation:Get to the result.

Clinical Outcomes Come First

We're not here to maintain, we're here to move kids forward. Progress isn’t a slogan; it’s measurable, and we track it like it matters. If it’s easier to fudge numbers than to solve the problem, we’re failing.

We Move with Urgency & Diligence

In ABA, slow is normal. Weeks for an assessment, months for therapy, years for diagnosis, and many years more to make tangible progress.

At Tellos, we reject that. We believe: Speed is care. Action is respect. We move fast, not recklessly, but deliberately. We believe speed is care. At Tellos, urgency is a value. Every time we follow up the same day, fix something before it's noticed, or launch a new workflow that shaves days off a process, we’re saying: your time matters. We don’t let perfectionism slow us down, and we don’t hide behind bureaucracy. We have an unreasonable bias toward action. Then we refine.

FAQ

Got Questions?

Talk with us

What is ABA therapy and how can it help my child?

ABA therapy (Applied Behavior Analysis) is one of the most trusted and effective therapies for helping children with autism and developmental needs build important life skills. It's a science-backed approach that focuses on how your child learns, and grows. Our therapists work one-on-one with your child to build skills like communication, following directions, self-regulation, and even everyday things like brushing teeth, getting dressed, or making friends.

Every plan is personalized to your child’s strengths, needs, and your family’s goals, with real progress you can see and celebrate.

Is ABA therapy the right fit for my child?

ABA therapy can be truly life-changing, but it’s also a big commitment. It works best when parents and caregivers are actively involved in the therapy process. You don’t have to have it all figured out, that’s what we’re here for. We will walk alongside you, help you understand how ABA works, and see if it’s the right fit for your child and your family. And answering all of your questions along the way.

How does in-home therapy work?

Who are the BCBAs, and what qualifications do they hold?

BCBAs are Board Certified Behavior Analysts, meaning they've earned a master's or doctorate degree and passed rigorous exams to become experts in ABA therapy. They assess your child’s strengths and challenges, set specific goals, and adjust strategies as needed. They also train and supervise RBTs (Registered Behavior Technicians), who work directly with your child at home. Most importantly, they provide weekly guidance to you, ensuring you feel confident in supporting your child’s progress every day.

What does parent training involve?

We believe that empowering parents is crucial to the therapy’s success. Our parent training includes teaching you ABA techniques to use at home, helping you understand how to reinforce your child's progress, and providing you with tools to manage and extend the learning and development. Parent training is a key part of a truly comprehensive ABA therapy program, designed to empower you with the skills and knowledge to support your child's growth. Each week, you'll meet with your child's BCBA to learn strategies, discuss progress, and collaborate on goals, ensuring therapy is consistent and effective at home; our team of RBTs, supervised by the BCBA, will also be there to support your child and family throughout the week. We're committed to working together with you, every step of the way.
