Frequently Asked Questions

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientifically validated therapy that helps children with autism develop communication, social, and daily living skills by using positive reinforcement techniques.

At UNIFI Autism Care, our ABA programs are customized to each child’s unique needs to maximize growth and independence.

ABA therapy promotes learning of critical skills such as communication, social interaction, emotional regulation, and independence. It also addresses challenging behaviors by teaching alternative, functional skills in a supportive environment.

ABA therapy is considered the gold standard for autism treatment. Benefits include increased independence, improved language and communication skills, better emotional regulation, and enhanced social interaction.

If your child has been diagnosed with autism or is showing signs such as difficulty with communication, social interaction, or behavior regulation, ABA therapy may help.

We also offer autism diagnostic evaluations to support families who are seeking clarity or an initial diagnosis.

UNIFI Autism Care provides center-based ABA therapy at multiple Indiana locations, including South Bend/Mishawaka, Evansville, and Indianapolis (Broad Ripple area).

We also offer our LifeFIT Telehealth Program for families across the state and school-based partnerships.

We work with most major insurance providers (including Medicaid) and offer support with insurance verification and billing.

Our team helps families understand their coverage options so they can access high-quality autism therapy without unnecessary delays.

At UNIFI Autism Care, we believe every child’s journey is unique—and so is the way we deliver therapy. Our approach combines high-quality, individualized ABA therapy with a commitment to lifelong outcomes, not just short-term gains.

We collaborate with the other member’s of your child’s healthcare team (pediatrician, psychologist, specialists) to ensure an integrated and unified care approach.

UNIFI Autism Care offers a full spectrum of autism services, including:

• Comprehensive diagnostic evaluations for autism
• Individualized one-on-one ABA therapy sessions
• Parent and caregiver training and coaching

• Virtual caregiver coaching through our LifeFIT Telehealth Program

Our services are available across multiple Indiana locations with flexible scheduling and no waitlist.

UNIFI provides autism services, including diagnostic evaluations and ABA therapy, to children from 18 months to 18 years old.

Our programs are designed to adapt as your child grows and their needs evolve.

To get started, contact our team for an initial consultation. We will guide you through the process, verify insurance benefits, and schedule assessments if needed. Many of our locations offer prompt access to services without waitlists.

Your child will work with a dedicated team of autism professionals who are trained to provide compassionate, individualized care:

• Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs): Certified professionals who design your child’s personalized therapy plan, monitor progress, and adjust goals as needed.

• Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs): Skilled therapists who work one-on-one with your child each day to teach skills, encourage independence, and support their social and emotional growth.

• Family Support & Administrative Team: Staff who help you navigate scheduling, insurance, and resources so you can focus on your child’s progress.

All UNIFI team members receive ongoing training, background checks, and supervision to ensure your child is learning in a safe, supportive environment. We see ourselves as partners in your child’s success—and we work closely with you every step of the way.

We’ll review your child’s medical history, gather information about their current strengths and challenges, verify insurance, and schedule a diagnostic evaluation (if needed).

Our team will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your child’s needs.

At UNIFI, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) conduct thorough assessments during our first encounters with your child to identify their strengths and areas of need.

Goals are developed based on these assessments, input from families, and collaboration with educators or other providers. These goals are personalized, measurable, and focused on skills that will improve your child’s quality of life.

At UNIFI Autism Care, we believe caregivers are essential partners in a child’s success. Your insight, support, and participation help ensure that the skills your child learns in therapy carry over into everyday life.

Caregiver involvement includes:

• Ongoing Communication: Regular updates from your child’s BCBA on progress, goals, and next steps.

• Parent & Caregiver Training: Hands-on coaching to help you use ABA strategies at home, in the community, and during daily routines.

• Collaborative Goal-Setting: Your priorities and feedback are built into your child’s treatment plan.

• Observation Opportunities: When appropriate, you may observe therapy sessions to better understand techniques and celebrate your child’s achievements.

We see you as part of the team—and when we work together, your child’s progress is faster, stronger, and longer-lasting.

Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) track your child’s progress through data collection and regular assessments. We set clear goals and adjust treatment plans based on your child’s development to ensure meaningful, measurable growth over time.
