Founded by Sherry Michael in 1997, ABC provides in-house autism diagnostic testing, center-based ABA therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy across 21 centers statewide.</p>

    <h3>Mission</h3>
    <p>&ldquo;To provide the highest quality ABA and Verbal Behavior therapy and consulting services to children and their families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder to build brighter futures&hellip; Our programs focus on increasing language skills, social skills, daily living, and reducing problematic behavior.&rdquo;</p>
    <h3>Founding story</h3>
    <p>In 1995, founder Sherry Michael's 2-year-old son Michael was diagnosed with autism — the first child in his school district to receive the diagnosis. With no ABA centers in Indiana at the time, Sherry began consulting in 1995 and offering ABA therapy and swim lessons from her home in 1997, becoming Indiana's first ABA provider. ABC has since grown to 21 centers and 300+ employees while keeping a family-first philosophy.</p>
