At Hillcroft Services, they believe every child deserves the opportunity to grow, connect, and thrive. Their ABA Clinic in Muncie provides compassionate, evidence-based support for children with autism and developmental differences through Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy.
Their team of professionals works one-on-one with each person to build communication, social, and daily living skills in a structured yet nurturing environment. They tailor every program to meet individual needs, helping children and adults gain confidence and independence while supporting families every step of the way.
With high energy and infectious smiles, I was greeted by each client with warmth and positivity. At the ABA clinic, each child had their own specific room decorated to match their personality, making it feel like home. I rarely saw any of the children in their rooms; they were either out in the gym playing in the bounce house or in the classroom. Each child had their own ABA therapist helping with their communication and teaching them living skills.
A quick drive down the road, you get to the main Hillcroft Services building. Filled with music classes, cooking classes, a recreation area, and a sewing area, the entire building was lively. I went during lunch time, but even then, they were eating together and building a community together. (Photos by Mallory Hall)
