NEW YORK, Jan. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Invo Healthcare Associates, LLC ("Invo"), announced that The Wicks Group of Companies ("Wicks"), a private investment firm, has completed a majority recapitalization of the company along with management and Invo's existing shareholders at Post Capital Partners ("Post Capital"). The terms of the transaction, which closed on December 23, 2016, were not disclosed.
Based in Jamison, PA, Invo is a leading national provider of school and community behavioral health and other therapeutic services to individuals with special needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder ("ASD"). The company serves more than 60,000 children annually in the areas of occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech and language pathology, and Applied Behavioral Analysis ("ABA"), in schools and other community-based settings across the United States.
Commenting on the transaction, Invo CEO Anthony Manley said, "I am thrilled to continue in the service of Invo's mission with our new partners at Wicks and our continued partnership with Post Capital. We are united in our shared vision for the business and our motivation to provide the highest quality therapy services to children and families nationwide."
"Invo is uniquely positioned at the crossroads of the behavioral health and special education services industries, key areas of focus for Wicks.

"As one of the only national providers capable of providing high quality therapeutic services across multiple settings – both in schools and in the community – we are very excited to partner with Anthony and the team at Post Capital to help the company continue to grow their clear leadership position in the market."
