Q3 2024 Autism Services Update

Autism services M&A activity continued its momentum in Q3 2024, with five transactions closed, bringing the year-to-date total to 19 as of September. This sustained activity reflects strong investor interest, particularly in platform creation and strategic growth acquisitions, despite persistent challenges such as stagnant reimbursement and labor shortages.

Notably, Behavioral Health Business acquired the Autism Investor Summit, highlighting the growing importance of specialized conferences in supporting industry growth and connecting stakeholders. Additionally, 5th Century Partners announced a strategic investment into My Favorite Therapists. These deals, alongside notable transactions from earlier in the year—including the secondary buyouts of Caravel Autism Health and Behavioral Innovations—underscore the sector’s growing attractiveness.

Provident expects additional private equity-backed platforms to come to market in the near term, supported by successful exits and a positive shift in market sentiment.
