New Pediatric Therapy Platform Coral Care Offers Texas Families In-Home Support for Developmental Needs

As access gaps grow, Coral Care delivers timely, in-home developmental therapy—including speech, occupational, and physical therapy—covered by insurance.

DALLAS, May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Coral Care, a pediatric therapy platform connecting families of children with developmental delays to at-home care specialists, is now officially live and covered by insurers in Texas. Families in Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio can now access high-quality speech, occupational, and physical therapy services for their children, all in the comfort of their own homes. With in-network coverage through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX), Baylor Scott & White Health Plan (BSW), Curative Health Plan, and other major insurers, Coral Care removes barriers to care and makes it easier for families to get the support their children need.

One in five children in the U.S. has a developmental delay or disability—and yet, families routinely face long waitlists, confusing systems, and limited access to timely care. In Texas, these challenges are worsening: the state recently cut Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) funding by 11%, despite already spending below the national average per child served. This has left many families without access to the early support that can make a lasting difference.

Coral Care is on a mission to revolutionize pediatric therapy—making it easier for families to access care while empowering therapists to build thriving, local private practices. Already serving families across Massachusetts and New Hampshire, Coral Care's expansion into Texas brings its trusted, family-centered approach to a region with growing demand and limited in-home options.

With Coral Care, parents can book in-home therapy online in minutes. A local, licensed, and vetted pediatric therapist will come directly to their home, providing personalized support where children are most comfortable. By delivering care in the child's natural environment—not a clinic or a screen—Coral Care makes therapy more effective, accessible, and family-friendly.

"I started Coral Care after struggling to get my daughter the developmental support she clearly needed. The care was out there—but the system made it incredibly hard to access," said Jen Wirt, founder and CEO of Coral Care. "Traditional clinics had long waitlists, limited parent involvement, and didn't fit into our real life. The current model is outdated and overly complex—and families are paying the price. Coral Care is changing that. We bring trusted, in-home care directly to families, and we're excited to now offer that support to communities across Texas."

Coral Care's platform supports a wide range of developmental needs for children, including speech and language delays, sensory processing challenges, motor skill development, emotional regulation, and feeding issues. Parent coaching is integrated into every session, helping caregivers feel supported and confident.

Families are typically matched with a provider in under a week—and they stay. More than 90% of families continue care after the first two months, and early satisfaction ratings are overwhelmingly positive. It's a model that's working—because it's built around the lives of real families.

Coral Care has raised over $7 million in funding to date, with backing from top investors including AlleyCorp, Reach Capital, GreyMatter Capital, Purpose Built Ventures, Mother Ventures, Charge Ventures, and Hustle Fund.
