The Behavior Analysis Center for Autism uses the principles and procedures of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to teach language, social, self-help, academic, daily living and life skills to children with autism and other related disabilities in the greater Indianapolis area. The center opened its doors in October 2009. BACA was established by Dr. Carl Sundberg and a group of highly trained Board Certified Behavior Analysts who have been working with Dr. Sundberg for several years. Dr. Sundberg has been working in the field of behavior analysis for 25 years, studied under Dr. Jack Michael, and received his Ph.D. from Western Michigan University. He is currently teaching masters level classes in Verbal Behavior at Ball State University and was the 2010 president of the Hoosier Association for Behavior Analysis (HABA).
