Sunpetal Pediatric Therapy provides individualized, play-based ABA therapy for children with autism near Noblesville, Indiana, serving families throughout the Noblesville Schools district and the broader Hamilton County area.
Our center at 9505 Delegates Row in Indianapolis is approximately 20 minutes from downtown Noblesville, accessible via I-69 or SR-37. Noblesville families have told us that finding consistent, relationship-driven ABA care close to home has historically been a challenge -- most larger ABA providers are concentrated further south or west, leaving Hamilton County families with limited local options or facing long waitlists.
We built Sunpetal to fill exactly that gap. Our center is small, intentional, and focused on the kind of individualized, play-based care that produces real progress -- not just data on a spreadsheet.

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 an effective treatment for autism spectrum disorder.
At Sunpetal, our ABA therapy programs are child-led and play-based. Therapists follow each child's interests and motivation, embedding skill-building into activities your child genuinely enjoys. This makes learning more natural, more motivating, and more likely to carry over into daily life at home, at school, and in the community.
Skills commonly targeted in ABA therapy include:

One of the most damaging and most common problems in ABA therapy is high staff turnover. Children with autism rely on consistency and familiarity to build trust -- and that trust is the foundation of real progress.
At Sunpetal, our team is intentionally small. Your child will work with familiar faces who genuinely know them, not a new therapist every few weeks. This is one of the most significant differences between Sunpetal and larger corporate ABA providers. Read more about why smaller ABA therapy centers make a big difference.

Many families schedule ABA therapy before or after school. For younger children not yet in school, sessions often happen during the day as part of early intervention. Read our full guide on ABA therapy and school scheduling.
The number of hours is determined by a BCBA following a comprehensive assessment and depends entirely on your child's individual needs. Some children benefit from a few hours per week; others need more intensive support. Learn more about our ABA programs.





Our therapy center was designed to feel like a home, not a clinic. Our large open therapy space encourages exploration and child-directed play. Our dedicated sensory room -- the "Cloud Room" -- provides a calm, low-stimulation space for children who need a break from sensory input, helping them regulate and return to learning without escalating. See our center to get a feel for the environment your child would be in.
