Opya ended April 2024 with a deal announcement. The San Mateo, California-based company announced the acquisition of the Center for Autism Spectrum Therapy (CAST), an early intervention autism therapy clinic provider located in Culver City, California.
Founded in 2016, Opya provides early intervention therapy for newly diagnosed children aged 18 months up to 6 years old, in addition to providing accompanying speech and occupational therapies via telehealth.
The CAST acquisition expands Opya’s Southern California presence and adds a clinic-based option to Opya’s personalized in-home autism services. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
According to data captured in the LevinPro HC database, this acquisition represents the 24th Behavioral Health Care (BHC) transaction of 2024, and the third announced in the autism specialty. This is a slight decrease from last year, when there were 26 BHC and four autism deals announced between January 1, 2023, and May 1, 2023.
