MISHAWAKA, Ind., Jan. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lighthouse Autism Center, a premier provider of center-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, is thrilled to announce its upcoming expansion with two new centers opening in Hobart and La Porte, Indiana. This latest development highlights Lighthouse's ongoing commitment to serving families across the Midwest by addressing the growing need for autism therapy services in Indiana communities.

The new centers are set to begin serving families in Spring 2025. Both locations will feature the natural, play-based spaces, bright colors, and thoughtfully designed therapy materials that Lighthouse Autism Center is known for. Families will have access to a comprehensive range of services, including ABA therapy, speech therapy, autism diagnostic testing, parent support, and pre-academic learning programs. Additionally, these new centers will contribute to the local economy by creating jobs and enhancing Indiana's healthcare infrastructure.
