Mercer L.L.C. and Rethink Autism Inc. have partnered to provide employers and their working parent workforce with tools and resources to care for children with developmental disabilities like autism.
This brings together Mercer’s health benefits consulting capabilities and Rethink’s health technology and evidence-based clinical guidance platform, Mercer said Thursday in a statement.
New York-based Rethink offers members access to a video-based treatment program, behavior intervention planning tools, training for caregivers, individualized assessments, online skills-based activities and access to remote, clinician-led consultation for personalized treatment guidance and care. Its case management and data analytics capabilities automatically generate data-based reports to track all the interactions, according to the statement.
“The unprecedented increase in the number of children with developmental disabilities such as autism creates a significant and heavy burden on their working parents, and those unique challenges they face follow them into the workplace,” Rethink CEO Daniel Etra said in a statement. “Rethink’s scalable program helps corporations effectively and affordably support these employees, improving productivity and enhancing workplace culture.”
Mercer L.L.C. on Wednesday said it has partnered with Palo Alto, California-based Kurbo Health to provide employers a mobile health coaching and weight loss program for kids, teenagers and families.
