Applied Behavior Center for Autism

Can’t say enough good things about the staff here. They truly love the kids, and do what they can to help them learn and grow. My son is now able to be in kindergarten, making friends, and having so much confidence because of his time spent here. They’ve done so much for our family!

ABCA is ran by incredibly caring and dedicated staff. I am thankful my daughter was able to experience, learn & grow with this group of loving individuals. She sadly has aged out but I know the experiences and all she learned at ABCA will carry over to her new journey in life. Thank you for all the beautiful memories you gave her. You are all amazing.

There are no words to describe how wonderful and caring even a single one of these team members of the Applied Behavior Center for Autism is. I'm very thankful for each one of you ; my daughter has a better lifestyle because like you❤️❤️

ABC is an amazing place. Our daughter was welcomed with open arms and has worked with so many amazing people. Her therapists are dedicated, kind, caring and focused on achieving results. We get a daily report that share her success. ABC showed me that not letting her get away with bad behavior was truly helping her to improve. Her social/emotional progress is profound. Thank you Applied Behavior Center for Autism - Fishers... I couldn't imagine doing this without you.

My son has been going ABC for 9 months and he has learned so much. He wasn’t talking when he first went and now he says a lot. They also worked with me of getting him potty trained and it didn’t even take a month so exciting. Hanna that works with him is wonderful she is always positive and has great energy. So I do recommend the ABC south.

My son has gone there for a few years. They taught him to potty train, and have helped me with parent training. When I have questions or suggestions they are quickly addressed. The staff always greet my son when he comes in and he has built good relationships with staff. Lisa has always been welcoming and helps with anything I need it have concerns about. Becca got my son to say I love you and Leslie got him to say days of the week. Thank you for you service and for helping my son reach his top potential. The speech therapist was able to get my son an aac within two days when our previous slp had been working for two years. I appreciate the village we have there as a single mom. I know he is safe and if anything happens we have an app where we can see what happens daily. The abcs I use for my four year old too and have taught it to my neighbors. ☺️ ps Becca and Chloe are such super stars always smiling and up lifting my son glows when he sees them along with many others. Thank you terre haute abc even with insurance budget cuts they are still caring and trying to provide the best care for my son. I appreciate the patience, explaining, and grace through the insurance period, this time hit hard and they are right beside my son and I fighting for the services he needs. Thank you to the amazing staff who goes above and beyond for all of the beautiful souls who goes to aba!

Will never bring my child here again! They called CPS on me for things I did not do. I regret ever having my child attend this center they left so much trauma on our family. On top of it she wasn't progressing with having multiple therapists throughout the week instead of having same therapists and every time you would offer a solution they would shut you down!!!!!!!!!

My son has been with ABC for many years and has made so many advancements due to the great therapists he has had while at ABC. He is completely non-verbal and now can communicate with his electronic devices and an even bigger accomplishment is the amount and variety of food that he now eats due to the food program they incorporated. His behavior has improved every year and his life living skills are very good. I can't say enough good things about ABC and look forward to whatever the future brings.

Do not bring your kids here. Watch out for the lady with blonde curly hair in ponytail. She is extremely bad...not sure how she got hired. Do research and look for a better place until she is gone

My sons went there since 2019. In that time, my son, who has level 3 autism and is non-verbal, was unsupervised long enough to bust his head open and have to go to the ER, on another occasion that same son was unsupervised long enough to put his hand through a windows, another trip to the ER and several visits to a hand specialist as he cut his wrist, it could have been really bad had he severed an artery or vein. Several other windows were broken by several other children. They finally put bars over the windows. There was a complaint they informed me about that a staff member spanked my son, they say it was found to be unsubstantiated but all they did was ask the employee. They said the employee was having personal issues with some of the staff and it was reported with malice. Even if that was true, that proved that they used my son as a pawn in their personal problems. Again, my son is nonverbal so he can't tell me what happened. My other son has behavioral issues, nothing they shouldn't be able to handle, but they insisted that he go into a locked padded room unsupervised, or into an empty room unsupervised where he as left alone to peel the walls and carpet, getting carpet glue all over him. I, at one time got a phone call asking if my son already had a bruise on him, I said no, and they let me know that someone who wasn't qualified did a restraint on him. There are staff working there now and past staff that claimed they were BCBA's and couldn't pass the test but still acted as such. When I would talk with someone about my concerns I was told if I don't like what they want me to do with my child then I can just take my kids out of there, and at that point I went and I'm enrolled them elsewhere. They did assign us a new bcba who assured me she could fix everything, who btw, lived 1100 miles away in New Hampshire, then she moved to Iowa 4 hours away so all of our parent meetings and all of the observing she was doing with my kids was all done virtually and I had a big problem with that. She was very rude, very overbearing, and knew absolutely nothing about my kids. She would lie and say that my kids were doing stuff that they just weren't able to do, saying to me my kids were playing me and pretended they couldn't do it for just me. If I did not want something that they put in his plan, she would yell at me and be very rude and tell me I'm making a mistake. Our last meeting she was very overbearing, and yelling at me like I said, as someone was holding a laptop with her face and I was just trying to stand up for myself and my son and when the director lady came in and told us that the meeting was over she still would not shut up and the director had to just shut the computer to get her to be quiet. Then they have the audacity to send me a note stating that my son was on probation because of my attitude and I was no longer allowed in the building where my son was. So after all of this, and staying because my son's so desperately need routine, and I love love most of the staff, there are actually some people who put their whole hearts into it unfortunately not everybody. It was sad to have to pull him but I didn't know what was going to happen next with that place, and I should have done it sooner. And the place is dirty when I go in it doesn't look like anything has been sanitized, they couldn't keep staff I don't know how many different staff my kids would see during a week it was never one stable person it was a lot of different people. I most definitely would not recommend to a friend in fact I would try to persuade you to not take your children there especially if they're lower functioning and nonverbal and couldn't tell you what was going on.
