ABA Therapy Center is Now Open in Waterloo, Iowa

Lighthouse Autism Center (LAC) continues its remarkable expansion, now boasting a network of autism centers across five states. What began with a humble commitment to serve just four families in a single building has grown exponentially over the past decade, now providing invaluable support to hundreds of families seeking autism services.

Our comprehensive offerings include ABA therapy, distinguished by our innovative Lighthouse Fusion® approach, which integrates speech therapy, autism diagnostic testing, parent training, and pre-academic learning. Each service is meticulously designed to meet the unique needs of individuals on the autism spectrum, ensuring holistic care and developmental support.

We are proud to announce the opening of our fifth play-based ABA therapy center in Iowa, located in Waterloo. This new center, which opened on Wednesday, October 2, 2024, serves 21 children and their families, extending our reach and impact in the community. Moreover, the center has created over 32 new job opportunities, reinforcing our commitment to local economic growth and community support.

At Lighthouse Autism Center, we remain dedicated to improving the lives of those we serve. We are excited to expand our mission to new communities across the Midwest and beyond. Our goal is to provide the highest quality autism services to children and families by opening our newest children’s autism center in Waterloo, Iowa. As the need for ABA services continues to grow, Lighthouse is determined to fill that need by establishing new centers in underserved locations, accommodating a larger capacity of learners and helping more families achieve their goals.

Waterloo Autism Center for speech and language

Lighthouse Autism Center is the Midwest’s leading autism therapy provider. With beautiful facilities that promote natural and play-based learning, our team of highly trained and compassionate clinicians brings together compassionate care and clinical excellence to offer the highest quality autism treatment through our ABA therapy programs.

Our unique speech therapy model, Lighthouse Fusion®, enables children at Lighthouse to make greater progress, faster, all while having fun. Unlike other ABA centers that keep ABA and speech therapies separate, Lighthouse Fusion integrates speech therapy directly into a child’s daily programming, providing greater opportunities for speech development. We invite you to learn more about how this innovative clinical model is helping to unlock each child’s potential.

This vibrant community, known for its rich history and strong sense of community spirit, now benefits from specialized autism services offered by Lighthouse. The opening of the center signifies a significant milestone in providing essential care and support to families affected by autism in Waterloo and its surrounding areas. With a commitment to excellence in ABA therapy, speech therapy, diagnostic testing, parent training, and more, Lighthouse Autism Center is dedicated to fostering growth and development in individuals on the autism spectrum.
