Therapy should never depend on a family's income.
If your child is covered by Health First Colorado, therapy on ViaThera costs you nothing. No copay. No booking charge. No hidden charges. The same therapists, the same tools, the same care — because access shouldn't be a privilege.
$0 to families. $0 to therapists. Full platform access.

Book a free 15-minute consultation call and your therapist can help coordinate one.
ViaThera was built by a pediatric OT who saw firsthand how long Medicaid families wait for services. We believe every child deserves the same quality of care, and we designed this platform to make that real — not theoretical.
