Dedicated to Autism in Indiana

We believe we are a truly unique and special place for children and families... fully dedicated to those who comprise the autism Lafayette community, and the overall autism Indiana community.

Little Star Center allows families to have the best of both worlds – through the intense one-on-one personalized therapy characteristic of a home program and the community feel of a center-based program. This unique combination allows your child to receive specialized care and attention as well as access to peers, developmental materials and a beautiful, engaging facility.

At Little Star, we pride ourselves on having a "family-first" philosophy. Families are an integral part of their children's programming along with our staff of professionals. In addition to our focus on teaching and nurturing, we lend support and guidance to your family in helping you care for your child with autism.

About Our Programs

Many have chosen Little Star because it provides specialized help and resources for children and families living with autism. Indiana families are realizing the benefits of Little Star's all-year therapeutic intervention; a setting in which families, children and therapists can support each other and interact; and small-group activities. Little Star can be tailored to fit your child and family's specific needs through three major programs:

Center-based programs: Under these programs, which offer intensive intervention based on the principles of applied behavior analysis and verbal behavior, your child receives one-on-one attention through a team that includes a clinical director, program manager, team leader and therapists. In addition to your child's specific program goals, he or she also will be engaged with a small group of peers for play time and other activities.

Home-based programs: These provide the same intensive intervention of the center-based programs, but team-approach therapy takes place in the home. This home-based program also is advantageous if you have an older child who attends traditional school but would benefit from a program that focuses on building daily living skills, such as making beds, hanging clothes and performing chores around the house.

Community-based programs: This option also offer older children and young adults with autism the opportunity to learn independent living skills that will help them adapt to activities found in public settings. These programs are tailored to teach your child an array of skills from grocery shopping and riding public transportation to staying within a budget. At Little Star Center, we believe in doing everything within our ability to give you and your child with autism a place to learn, develop and grow.
