Hopebridge Kokomo, IN

Initiated in 2005 in Indianapolis, Indiana, Hopebridge Autism Therapy Center was established to cater to the specialized needs of children with autism and profoundly improve their lives and those of their families. The center launched the pioneering Hopebridge LLC program, which provides personalized outpatient services like Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), occupational therapy, speech therapy, and feeding therapy. These services are specifically tailored to address the unique needs of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental challenges. Hopebridge autism treatment center in Kokomo, Indiana, has witnessed considerable growth. It now operates over 100 locations across various states, including North Carolina, Ohio, and Arkansas. This expansion is a testament to its dedication to delivering specialized, empathetic care and to being a steadfast resource for the families it serves. Hopebridge was founded by Kim Strunk, an occupational therapist who identified a significant lack of integrated care for children exhibiting signs of autism. Strunk saw the struggles that families endured, constantly moving from one treatment provider to another. She introduced a cohesive, multidisciplinary approach centered on ABA, which was innovative at the time and often needed to be covered by insurance, thereby making it inaccessible to many. Strunk's vision and the efforts of her dedicated team enabled the expansion of these vital services, greatly benefiting communities that previously had limited access. From its inception as a single location in Indiana, Hopebridge has grown to become one of the most extensive autism therapy networks in the country, connecting numerous families to essential care. Under the leadership of Strunk and her team of highly skilled clinicians, Hopebridge Autism Therapy Centers are committed to providing exceptional, individualized care that meets the unique needs of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The centers help alleviate the substantial stress on families by consolidating a comprehensive array of pediatric outpatient services under one roof, fostering hope and positivity.

The center also focuses heavily on family education and training caregivers to support effective ABA practices at home. It provides extensive support services, including insurance, autism testing, and diagnostic procedures.
