This will be the center’s 19 location in Indiana.
“Valparaiso has been an area we have been hoping to reach for some time,” said Gregg and Sandy Maggioli, founders of Lighthouse Autism Center. “We have many families and employees who travel from Valparaiso to attend or work at our other center locations, and we could not be more excited to meet them in their own communities and begin offering these life changing autism services to others in the area.”
Lighthouse says the new location will provide a newly-remodeled facility for children and families with autism. The location will offer therapy spaces designed for diverse and natural learning opportunities as well as a playroom. It will provide services to more than 20 families and create an additional 30 jobs in the area.
The center says children who the Valparaiso location will work on developing social skills, communication skills, daily living skills, decreasing socially significant problem behavior and more.
