CHARLOTTE, NC, September 17, 2025 – Centria Autism (Centria), a leading national provider of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, is furthering its expansion across North Carolina with a new Life Skills Autism Academy (LSAA) location in Charlotte, N.C – its second center in the city and seventh in the state.
Centria places an emphasis on early intervention with its LSAA centers, providing high-intensive, specialized ABA therapy to children with autism who are 5 years old and younger.
“Families in Charlotte deserve access to high-quality autism care close to home,” said Timothy Yeager, Chief Clinical Officer at Centria Autism. “With this new Life Skills Autism Academy, we are strengthening our commitment to support children and families in North Carolina with therapy that builds independence and empowers lifelong success.”
The 11,700 square-foot center at 2021 Crossbeam Dr opened on September 2 and is currently welcoming new clients. This center joins three other Life Skills Autism Academy locations across the state in Charlotte and the Piedmont Triad.
Centria centers offer individualized treatment plans from a team of Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Behavior Technicians, prioritizing the development of everyday skills and social behaviors that will allow children with autism to thrive in school, at home and in their communities.
According to the CDC, one in every 31 kids is diagnosed with autism – illuminating an increasing need for quality behavioral therapy across the board. Centria is continuing to honor its commitment to supporting those on the spectrum with centers in Arizona, Indiana, Georgia, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas and Virginia.
