About Our Richmond Facility

thoughtfully divided into two areas, one for younger children and one for older children, so each group can learn in an environment suited to their stage of development. The center features individualized therapy rooms for focused one-on-one work, a group instruction room for younger learners, an arts and crafts area, a cafeteria, and an outdoor playground. A large indoor playground anchors the space with a ball pit, swing, climbing dome, and other engaging equipment. For tweens and teens, the Richmond center also houses a dedicated Learning in Functional Environments (LIFE) program.

Because every child develops differently, we tailor each therapy plan to a child’s individual strengths, goals, and needs. Some children make their best progress in calm, one-on-one sessions, while others thrive through active play, movement, and learning alongside peers. Across both wings, our aim is the same: to create a space where every child and teen feels supported, motivated, and capable as they build new skills and confidence.

Therapy Spaces Designed for Learning and Growth

With room for both younger children and older students, our Richmond center offers a wide range of spaces that support communication, creativity, movement, social connection, and growing independence:

The LIFE Program for Tweens and Teens

Our Richmond center is home to the Learning in Functional Environments (LIFE) program, created to help tweens and teens build the practical skills that support greater independence. The LIFE area includes a daily living skills space with a kitchen, washer, and dryer, plus a recreational room, giving older students real-world settings to practice functional routines, social interaction, and self-reliance.

Services Offered at Our Richmond Autism Center

At our Richmond, Indiana center, the Applied Behavior Center for Autism delivers individualized autism services for children and teens alike. Each treatment plan is personalized to help children develop the communication, behavioral, social, and daily living skills that matter at every stage of growth.

Our Richmond programs are grounded in evidence-based practice and built for meaningful, lasting progress. Depending on a child’s needs, available services and support may include:

  • Center Based ABA

    ABA therapy in Richmond helps children and teens build communication, behavior, social interaction, emotional regulation, and daily living skills through structured, individualized sessions led by trained clinicians in a supportive learning environment.

  • Diagnostic Testing

    For families whose child does not yet have a formal autism diagnosis, diagnostic testing can clarify a child's strengths, challenges, and therapy needs, while helping connect families to appropriate autism services.

  • Occupational Therapy

    When a child needs added support with sensory regulation, fine motor skills, self-care routines, or coping strategies, ABA therapy can be paired with Occupational Therapy to support fuller participation in everyday activities.

  • Speech Therapy

    Care may also be coordinated with Speech Therapy to build speech, language, functional and social communication, and a child's ability to express wants, needs, and ideas with greater confidence.

  • Social Skills

    For children who would benefit from extra practice connecting with others, Social Skills support focuses on cooperative play, emotional understanding, flexibility, and confidence in group settings.

Family Involvement and Collaboration

At ABC, we believe family involvement is an important part of helping children make meaningful progress. Our clinical team works closely with parents and caregivers throughout the therapy process by:

  1. Individualized programs designed to improve the life of the child and family
  2. Formal training program for parents and family members at no cost
  3. Opportunity to observe your child in the therapeutic environment
  4. Every family is assigned to a Behavior Analyst for clinical support as well as a Branch Manager

When therapy teams and families work together consistently, children are often better able to generalize learned skills across everyday situations.
