Cornerstone Autism Center

What Cornerstone Autism Center does

Cornerstone Autism Center, operating under the legal name Behavior Analysis Center for Autism (BACA), is an Indiana-based private healthcare provider that delivers applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy and related clinical services to children with autism spectrum disorder, primarily ages 2–10. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Indianapolis, the company operates across multiple service-delivery channels including company-owned Autism Learning Centers, in-home therapy, school-based therapy, and community-based sessions, with a recently opened South Bend Learning Center expanding its Northern Indiana footprint. Its clinical portfolio spans core ABA therapy, autism diagnostic services, speech-language therapy, and a social skills program, supported by a reported contemporary, client-centered treatment methodology that contrasts with more systematic therapist-directed approaches used by competing providers.

The company generates revenue by billing insurance plans for recurring ABA therapy services delivered across its multi-channel Indiana footprint, using a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model that accepts referrals from families, healthcare providers, and insurance companies. BACA operates as a subsidiary of LEARN Behavioral, a national network of autism treatment providers, which supplies shared clinical, operational, and branding resources while preserving local execution. Marketing is conducted primarily through content channels—blog articles, podcasts, videos, and a monthly newsletter—targeting top- and mid-funnel family engagement rather than enterprise sales. With 251–500 employees, the company functions as a mid-sized regional clinical services provider whose growth is tied to geographic buildout within Indiana, service-line expansion within the autism care continuum, and the broader insurance-reimbursement environment for ABA therapy.

The company does not disclose revenue, pricing, or financial details publicly; services are billed through insurance on a recurring-engagement basis, and no software product, mobile application, or API is offered. The technology stack is effectively the clinical methodology and the multi-site delivery infrastructure rather than a software platform, and no AI/ML, patents, certifications, or third-party technology partnerships are disclosed in the available data.
