Equitable, Holistic Care for Neurodiverse Children & Families.
Family-Centered Care at The Lemonade Center
We believe that every child’s progress begins with the family. As a Family-Centered Care Center, we don’t just treat autism — we partner with parents, caregivers, and communities to nurture the whole child.
Family-centered care means families are active members of the care team, not bystanders. We listen to your goals, respect your experiences, and create personalized plans that support your child’s development, well-being, and joy. From the first questions to ongoing therapy, we walk beside families—offering education, emotional stabilization, and practical guidance every step of the way.
Our approach blends evidence-based therapies with compassion, cultural responsiveness, and bilingual support. Because when families feel informed, supported, and empowered, children thrive — and that’s what family-centered care truly means.
Every family’s journey looks different, but at The Lemonade Center, we walk beside you from the very beginning.
We start by stabilizing the whole family emotionally and logistically, then connect you to therapy, behavioral health, and education — all under one roof.

Did You Know?
Autism now affects approximately 1 in 31 children in the U.S.
About 93% of children identified with ASD had developmental concerns by age 3.
About 66% of children with ASD received a comprehensive developmental evaluation by age 3.
An estimated 1 in 39 (about 2.5 %) of 8-year-old children identify with autism spectrum disorder.
The autism facts and statistics shared on this page are based on data from the North Carolina Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (NC-ADDM) Network, a program of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the National Autism Association (NAA).
The Lemonade Center is deeply personal to me. It’s not just another clinic delivering ABA — it’s a regional movement to close gaps in access, provide culturally competent and family-centered care, and build a model that treats children and families holistically, not transactionally. We’re reimagining what care looks like for neurodiverse communities — ensuring every family is seen, supported, and surrounded by integrated care that creates true equity.”
