Today, we opened the doors to our newest Lighthouse Autism Center in Cedar Falls, Iowa. We're excited to welcome the center's first families and expand access to autism services in the Waterloo/Cedar Falls community.

Every new center helps us reach more learners and families with the care and support they deserve, and we're proud to continue advancing our mission across Iowa.
