Located 11 Minutes from Fishers Elementary School
Sunpetal Pediatric Therapy provides individualized, play-based ABA therapy for children with autism near Fishers, Indiana, serving families throughout the Hamilton Southeastern Schools district and the broader Fishers community.
Our center at 9505 Delegates Row in Indianapolis is approximately 11-14 minutes from Fishers depending on your neighborhood, easily accessible via I-69 or Allisonville Road. Fishers has grown into one of the most vibrant family communities in Indiana, and Fishers families make up a meaningful portion of the children we serve each week. Many commute via I-69 for consistent, high-quality care their child genuinely looks forward to.
Fishers families often tell us that what brought them to Sunpetal was a frustrating experience at a larger provider -- high staff turnover, communication gaps, and a sense of being just another name on a caseload. We built Sunpetal to be the opposite of that: a small, intentional center where your child is known, your family is heard, and progress actually carries over into real life.
If your child has received an autism diagnosis and you are ready to explore ABA therapy, fill out our intake form or call (317) 207-0824.
What is ABA Therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based therapy that helps children with autism develop meaningful skills including communication, social interaction, daily living, and emotional regulation. It is endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Psychological Association, and the U.S. Surgeon General as one of the most effective treatments for autism spectrum disorder.
At Sunpetal, our ABA therapy programs are child-led and play-based. Therapists follow each child's lead -- joining them in activities they enjoy and embedding communication, social, and life skills naturally into those moments. Skills learned this way transfer more readily into daily life because they were learned in genuine, motivating contexts.
Skills commonly targeted in ABA therapy include:
- Communication and language development
- Social skills, turn-taking, and peer interaction
- Daily living and self-help routines
- Emotional regulation and coping strategies
- School readiness and transition tolerance

Consistent Staffing, Stronger Relationships
High staff turnover is one of the most damaging -- and most common -- problems at large ABA therapy companies. Children with autism build trust slowly, and having to restart that relationship repeatedly costs momentum and progress.
At Sunpetal, our team is intentionally small and our caseloads are kept manageable so your child builds a real, lasting relationship with their therapist. This consistency is one of the top reasons Fishers families choose Sunpetal over larger providers in the area. Read more about why smaller therapy centers make a big difference.
