ABA Therapy Centers:

​

The Indiana Institute on Disability and Community created a list of  ABA therapy centers throughout Indiana. They also wrote a list of questions to ask as you are visiting and touring different centers in your area. This is not an extensive list as ABA therapy centers open and close throughout the state. The list is not a recommendation from Inspire, but rather a starting point for parents who are exploring ABA therapy for their children.
