Lighthouse Autism Center
Where It All Started
In 2004, Gregg and Sandy Maggioli’s son was diagnosed with autism. As parents, they were committed to finding the best possible care for their son. In their pursuit, they discovered ABA therapy. Their son attended one of the first ABA centers in the state of Indiana, and Gregg and Sandy experienced firsthand the transformative impact of ABA therapy on their son, and their family.
It was from this experience that Lighthouse Autism Center was born. Gregg and Sandy had a passion for ABA and wanted to make sure that every child and family in the autism community had access to these life-changing services. And so, Lighthouse Fusion® ABA Therapy was born.
Where Compassionate Care Meets Clinical Excellence
At Lighthouse Autism Center, we offer the gold standard in autism therapy – Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy – in a beautiful, play-based environment. Children at Lighthouse, known as Lighthouse Learners, are immersed in imaginary spaces where they can naturally explore their interests, engage in sensory experiences, and learn and practice new skills. A dedicated Registered Behavior Technician will work 1:1 with each Learner on new skills – including language and communication. Programs and progress are individualized and can be seen in smiles and laughter — because we know children learn best when they’re having fun.
