Sociedad de Autismo de Indiana
La Sociedad del Autismo fue fundada en 1965 por el Dr. Bernard Rimland. Su libro, Infantile Autism: The Syndrome and Its Implications for a Neural Theory of Behavior, fue escrito a fines de 1964 y fue uno de los primeros de su tipo. En 1968, la Dra. Ruth Sullivan se convirtió en la primera presidenta electa de la organización. Durante los últimos 40 años, la Sociedad ha crecido desde un puñado de padres hasta convertirse en la principal fuente de información, investigación, referencia y apoyo en el espectro autista. La Sociedad del Autismo es la organización de base más antigua y más grande dentro de la comunidad del autismo.

Preguntas frecuentes
What is applied behavior analysis?
“Behavior analysis is the science of behavior, with a history extending back to the early 20th century. Its guiding philosophy is behaviorism, which is based on the premise that attempts to improve the human condition through behavior change (e.g., education, behavioral health treatment) will be most effective if behavior itself is the primary focus.” (BACB.com, About Behavior Analysis)
ABA is an approach with a wide variety of applications. ABA techniques are used in a variety of field such as sports, education, health and fitness, child maltreatment prevention and intervention, organizational behavior management, and sustainability- “however, because ABA was first applied to the treatment of individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism, this practice area has the largest evidence base and has received the most recognition.” (BACB.com, About Behavior Analysis)
What is ABA therapy?
ABA therapy focuses on increasing socially significant behaviors such as activities of daily living, communication, leisure, and social skills, while decreasing maladaptive behavior such as tantrums, verbal refusal, physical aggression, property destruction, and/or self-injury. Each child is assigned a morning therapist and an afternoon therapist who works one-on-one with them to reach their individual goals.
All therapists employed by Piece by Piece receive their Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) credential within their first 90 days. RBTs are supervised by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), masters level clinicians who are also responsible for creating individual treatment plans and behavior intervention plans for the clients they oversee.
Studies have shown that full time, intensive treatment programs typically provide the greatest benefit, however, we do offer part time services if that is what is best for your child!
What makes Piece by Piece different?
Unlike many other clinics, Piece by Piece is not owned and operated by an out of town hedge fund. The owners of Piece by Piece are Indiana natives who believe that families and children living in suburban and rural areas deserve access to the same high quality therapy services found in larger cities.
How does my child get services?
In order to be eligible for services, your child must have a medical diagnosis of autism (F84.0: Autistic Disorder) from an MD, HSPP, or PsyD. A school diagnostic report is not enough to qualify for services. In addition, your child must be covered by an insurance policy that covers ABA services.
Where can I go for an evaluation?
Please see the list below to find a provider in your area: How and Where to Obtain a Diagnosis/Assessment in Indiana: Autism Spectrum Disorders and Mental Health
What ages do you accept?
We accept children and teens between the ages of two and eighteen.
Do you provide any other therapies on site?
At this time, we only provide ABA therapy within our clinics.
Do you provide transportation?
No. Parents are expected to transport their children to and from the clinic each day.
Do you provide services in any other environments, such as home, community, or schools?
We primarily focus on providing in clinic therapy; however, we do have a school services team located in the Plainfield/Danville area. We are also happy to work with your child’s school to provide support as they transition into a school setting once they no longer need ABA services.
