Lighthouse Autism Center is currently the largest ABA provider in Indiana with a network of locations across Indiana, southwest Michigan, and central Illinois.

Lighthouse Autism Center offers autism therapy in a natural, play-based environment that encourages children to explore their natural interests. At the center in Springfield, Illinois, children will have the opportunity to benefit from Lighthouse Fusion, a unique clinical model that fuses the best practices of ABA and speech therapy into one innovative approach to autism treatment. Developed by a team of dually certified BCBA/SLPs, some of only a handful in the world, the model features co-treat sessions during which three clinicians collaborate to develop goals and deliver therapy for an individual child. Through this model, children are making greater progress, faster, all while having fun.

According to Lighthouse Chief Clinical Officer Leila Allen, the Lighthouse team is thrilled to continue expanding services in central Illinois. “As someone who has spent extensive time in Springfield as a child, and still having family in the area, I could not be more excited to bring the life-changing services offered by Lighthouse to father’s hometown” Allen said “The support we have received from families and advocates in the area is tremendous and we look forward to pursuing our mission of delivering the highest quality autism therapy to families with autism at our newest center in Springfield.”
