What Hopebridge Home Support Inc. does

Hopebridge Home Support Inc. is a privately held pediatric autism therapy provider headquartered in Kokomo, Indiana, founded in 2005 by occupational therapist Kim Strunk. The company operates more than 100 centers across 11 states — Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Tennessee — serving over 11,700 children annually and completing 14,000+ diagnostic evaluations. Treatment is delivered through the company's proprietary '360 Care' interdisciplinary model, which integrates Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), occupational therapy, speech therapy, feeding and swallowing therapy, autism diagnostics, and family guidance, with average treatment cycles of 18 to 22 months.

The underlying technology stack centers on the Hopebridge Assessment Platform (HAP), a standardized outcomes measurement system that processes millions of hours of therapy session data and supports both patient-reported and clinician-reported outcome measures. HAP places Hopebridge in the top 1% of contributors to the National Autism Data Registry, providing external benchmarking that supports value-based care contracting. Clinical operations are governed by a formal Clinical Advisory Board chaired by Dr. Jacqueline Wynn, and the company maintains accreditations across BHCOE, BACB ACE, AOTA, CARF International, CASP, and NCAAS. Clinical staff average 28.1 months of tenure, roughly 8 months above the industry benchmark.

Revenue is generated through recurring insurance and Medicaid reimbursement on a per-patient basis, with physician referral and family self-referral as the primary go-to-market channels. Hopebridge has expanded beyond clinic-based delivery into school-based ABA services, broadening the referral pipeline without incremental real estate. No public funding rounds, revenue figures, or ownership transactions are disclosed in the source material; the company remains privately held under founder-aligned leadership.
