Lighthouse Autism Center Expands to High Point, North Carolina
Big news for families in the Piedmont Triad community — Lighthouse Autism Center is bringing its innovative, play-based autism therapy model to High Point, North Carolina!
Opening November 24, 2025, the new center located at 719 N Elm St, High Point, NC 27262 will feature the bright, welcoming spaces and natural learning environments that families have come to love at Lighthouse. Every detail, from the colorful therapy rooms to the carefully selected play materials, is designed to make learning fun and meaningful for children with autism.
At the High Point center, families will have access to a full range of services, including:
- Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy
- Speech therapy
- Autism diagnostic testing
- Parent support and education
- Pre-academic learning
This expansion marks an exciting milestone in our mission to bring high-quality autism services to more families. It also creates new job opportunities for therapists, clinicians, and support staff, contributing to both the local community and North Carolina’s growing network of autism care providers.
Growing to Meet Families Where They Are
Earlier in 2025, Lighthouse Autism Center opened its first North Carolina locations in Hickory, Monroe, Statesville, and Smithfield. Now, with the addition of High Point, we’re continuing to respond to the increasing demand for compassionate, evidence-based autism services in North Carolina.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects approximately 1 in 31 children in the U.S., and the need for quality therapy options has never been greater. At Lighthouse, we’re committed to making sure every child and family can access the care and support they deserve.
“2025 will mark a major milestone for Lighthouse Autism Center with expanding outside the Midwest to North Carolina,” Traci Meador, Director of Special Programs and Expansion Operations, said. “We are thrilled to bring our services to more families, supporting and empowering them along their autism journey. Our commitment to excellence and community-focused care drives us to extend our impact where it is most needed.”
About Lighthouse Autism Center
Lighthouse Autism Center was founded in 2012 by parents of a child with autism — and that personal story still guides everything we do. From one center in Indiana, Lighthouse has grown to become the Midwest’s leading provider of center-based ABA therapy, now serving families across Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, and North Carolina.
Our unique Lighthouse Fusion® approach combines ABA and speech therapy in collaborative, play-based sessions led by dually certified BCBA/SLPs. This model helps children make faster progress in communication, social skills, and overall development — all while having fun.
At Lighthouse, we believe every child has incredible potential. Our team is dedicated to helping them shine, one milestone at a time.
