About Lighthouse Autism Center
Lighthouse Autism Center offers autism therapy in a natural, play-based environment. Children are immersed in imaginary spaces where they can naturally explore their interests, engage in sensory experiences, and practice language. At the newest centers in Marion and North Liberty, Iowa, children will have the opportunity to benefit from Lighthouse Fusion^®, our unique approach to speech therapy that provides children with daily opportunities for speech development. Developed by a team of dually certified BCBA/SLP’s, some of only a handful in the world, children participate in co-treat sessions where three clinicians collaborate with one child to develop speech goals and deliver therapy. By fusing speech into daily therapy programming, learners are making greater progress, faster all while having fun.

Headquartered in Mishawaka, Indiana, Lighthouse was founded in 2012 by the parents of a child with autism. Over the past eleven years, Lighthouse has grown into a leading center-based ABA therapy provider for children on the autism spectrum, with a network of centers across Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska. Lighthouse Autism Center believes that each child has unique and unlimited potential and is committed to bringing together compassionate care and clinical excellence to unlock that potential.
