Lighthouse Autism Center is Bringing Autism Therapy Services to Waterloo, Iowa

Lighthouse Autism Center (LAC) is on a remarkable journey of growth and impact, now spanning five states.

In Waterloo, we offer a comprehensive range of services tailored to meet the diverse needs of individuals with autism and their families. Our offerings include ABA therapy, innovative speech therapy called Lighthouse Fusion®, autism diagnostic testing, virtual parent training, pre-academic learning, and more. We are dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve, and we look forward to continuing to grow and evolve in our mission.

Waterloo Autism Center coming, late Summer of 2024

We are thrilled to announce the opening of our newest play-based ABA therapy center in Waterloo, Iowa, marking the fifth Lighthouse Autism Center in the state. Scheduled to open its doors in late summer 2024, the Waterloo Autism Center is poised to make a significant impact in the community. Dedicated to serving 21 families, this center will not only provide essential autism services but also generate over 32 new jobs, contributing to the local economy and fostering growth in the region. We are excited to bring our compassionate care and clinical expertise to Waterloo and look forward to serving families in this vibrant community.

With a mission of providing the highest quality autism services to children and families through our facilities, Lighthouse Autism Center has sought to do just that in Waterloo, Iowa. As the need for ABA services continues to grow, Lighthouse seeks to fill that need by expanding into facilities that can accommodate a larger capacity of learners, helping more families and children with autism, reach their goals.

Lighthouse Autism Center is the Midwest’s leading autism therapy provider

With beautiful child-lead autism therapy clinics that promote natural and play-based learning, and a team of highly trained and compassionate clinicians, Lighthouse Autism Center brings together compassionate care and clinical excellence to offer the highest quality ABA therapy to children with autism.

With a unique speech therapy model called Lighthouse Fusion®, children at Lighthouse are making greater progress, faster, all while having fun. While other ABA centers typically keep ABA and speech therapies separate, Lighthouse Fusion provides children with greater opportunity for speech development fusing speech therapy directly into a child’s daily programing. We invite you to learn more here about how this innovative clinical model is helping to unlock each child’s potential.
