Lighthouse ABA Therapy, a BCBA-owned provider of Applied Behavior Analysis services, has announced immediate enrollment for children with autism spectrum disorders across New York and North Carolina, addressing a regional gap in timely access to developmental care. The initiative allows families in communities including Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, and Long Island to begin individualized programs without extended placement delays.
Demand for pediatric autism services has grown steadily in recent years, and families in many markets report waiting several months to begin care after receiving a diagnosis. By eliminating placement delays, Lighthouse ABA Therapy aims to reduce the interval between diagnosis and the start of structured support, a period that specialists identify as significant for early developmental progress.
The company provides ABA therapy for children aged 2 to 21, delivering services in the home environment as well as in community settings such as parks and shopping centers where children can practice skills in real-world contexts. Additional offerings include parent training and coaching, telehealth sessions, ongoing progress updates, and treatment plans tailored to the goals of each child.
"Access should not be the barrier that keeps a child from starting care," said Pessy Raitman, BCBA, LBA and Co-Founder of Lighthouse ABA Therapy. "Families often carry the weight of a diagnosis and then face months of uncertainty before support begins. Offering ABA therapy with no waitlist means a family can move from questions to action in a matter of days rather than seasons."
The announcement reflects a broader effort to expand accessible pediatric therapy in regions where provider capacity has not kept pace with rising diagnosis rates. Rather than applying a single standard approach to every case, the company develops plans shaped around the individual needs of each child and family, keeping parents involved throughout the process.
"Parents know their child better than anyone," Raitman added. "The work begins with listening, then matching each family with a board-certified analyst and building a plan that fits their daily life. Removing the waitlist simply gives that partnership the chance to start when it matters most."
Lighthouse ABA Therapy also handles insurance verification and authorization on behalf of families and accepts most insurance plans, assisting parents in determining whether they qualify for coverage. The company frames this administrative support as part of an effort to help families feel less overwhelmed as they navigate the early stages of care.
Through its telehealth services, the company extends support to families in remote areas or those unable to travel to a therapy center, further broadening access across the regions it serves. Regular communication and progress reporting keep parents informed and engaged in each stage of their child's development.
