A study has revealed a significant increase in private equity firms acquiring autism therapy centers in the United States since 2015. Over the past decade, more than 500 such centers have been acquired by these firms.
This trend highlights the growing interest of private equity in the healthcare sector, particularly in specialized therapy services for autism. The acquisitions reflect a broader movement within the industry to consolidate and expand access to autism therapy.
For further context on related developments, recent reports have detailed various lobbying efforts, such as Israel enlisting pro-Trump influencers for a $900,000 U.S. lobbying effort.
The study underscores the evolving landscape of autism therapy services and the role of private equity in shaping this sector.
