Lighthouse Autism Center is Opening in Rocky Mount, North Carolina this June

Lighthouse Autism Center (LAC) is excited to announce the opening of a new autism therapy center in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, located at 110 Enterprise Dr., Rocky Mount, NC 27804. The center is scheduled to open in late June and will serve families throughout Nash County and the surrounding communities.

This marks Lighthouse’s sixth location in North Carolina, continuing our commitment to expanding access to high-quality, center-based ABA therapy across the state. Conveniently located about 56 miles from Raleigh, the Rocky Mount center will provide families in Central North Carolina with greater access to specialized autism services close to home.

Comprehensive Autism Services for Rocky Mount Families

The new 7,500+ square-foot center will accommodate up to 28 children and will feature four therapy pods designed to support both individualized one-on-one therapy and collaborative group learning opportunities.

Services offered at the Rocky Mount center include:

• ABA therapy
• Lighthouse Fusion® (integrated speech support within ABA therapy)
• Autism diagnostic testing
• Pre-academic learning programs
• Social skills groups
• Parent training and support

Lighthouse Fusion® is our innovative clinical model that blends speech therapy directly into a child’s daily ABA programming. By embedding communication goals throughout the day, children are able to build speech and language skills in natural, play-based settings — often making greater progress while having fun.

A Commitment to the Rocky Mount Community

“Our team is passionate about bringing compassionate, individualized care to Rocky Mount,” said Clinical Regional Director Natalie Yates. “We are committed to creating a supportive environment where children can thrive and families feel empowered every step of the way.”

Clinical Senior Regional Director Karen Merkel added, “Expanding into Rocky Mount represents our continued dedication to serving families across North Carolina. We’re excited to build strong relationships within this community and provide high-quality services that make a meaningful difference.”

In addition to delivering essential autism services, Lighthouse Autism Center is proud to contribute to the local economy by creating new career opportunities for clinicians and support staff in the area.

We look forward to welcoming families to our Rocky Mount center and becoming an active, supportive part of the community.
