ELKHART – Lighthouse Autism Center is expanding its services in Elkhart County. The organization says it plans to open the new applied behavior analysis center in July and expects to create an additional 35 jobs in the area.
Lighthouse says the new location will be its second ABA center in Elkhart and its ninth total facility. The center first opened in Mishawaka in 2012.
“In August of 2019, we opened our first Elkhart center. Since then, we have been overwhelmed by the number of families inquiring about therapy services for their children. Clearly the need for autism therapy services is great in this community, and we feel privileged to be able to help meet that need,” said Gregg Maggioli, co-founder and chief executive officer of Lighthouse Autism Center.
Similar to its current Elkhart location, the new building will have the capacity to serve more than 20 children.
Lighthouse says the newest center will continue proactive health and safety measures, including masks for all employees, extra staff for cleaning and sanitation, limited building capacity, and symptom and temperature checks for children and employees.
