US-based healthcare provider Magellan Health has partnered with Attend Behavior to offer enhanced digital support for carers of children with autism and developmental needs.

This collaboration underlines Magellan’s commitment to delivering clinically validated, cost-effective technology solutions that generate meaningful outcomes for families.

Attend Behavior's self-directed digital platform offers caregivers evidence-based resources and training designed to assist in managing challenging behaviours in children with autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and developmental delays.

The platform delivers immediate support, allowing caregivers to apply behavioural strategies that encourage positive behaviours and foster skill development in their children.

The platform is now accessible to both members and non-members at Magellan's Autism Technology Marketplace.

Magellan Health chief medical officer Steven Pratt said: "Magellan's Autism Technology Marketplace is a digital hub that features evidence-based solutions that are carefully vetted by Magellan's clinical and innovation experts for relevance, usability, and potential to improve the lives of individuals with autism and their families.

"These solutions address access barriers, facilitate effective communication and social skills, empower independence, and improve clinical outcomes."

Attend Behavior offers a scientifically backed, evidence-based method, presenting concise interactive lessons, videos, and coaching resources for caregivers.

Attend Behavior chief product officer Alan Fullbright said: "Our partnership with Magellan Health is a vital step toward reaching more families who need practical, evidence-based caregiver support."

Magellan Health promotes innovative methods for improving health through technology while prioritising the essential personal connections needed to lead a healthy and fulfilling life.

Its clientele consists of health plans, managed care organisations, trade unions, employers, various military entities, third-party administrators, and government agencies.
