ABA Therapy in OMAHA, NE
at Flywheel Centers

At Flywheel Centers in Omaha, we believe successful ABA therapy begins with meticulous assessment and planning. Your journey starts with an in-depth parent interview, where we learn about your child’s distinct needs, family goals, and daily routines. This initial conversation helps us grasp your child’s challenges, interests, strengths, and personality.

Our multi-faceted assessment process paints a complete picture of your child’s development through structured observations and standardized assessments. Our BCBAs evaluate core areas such as communication, social interaction, daily living skills, and behavior patterns. We also assess how your child learns best, their motivations, and current skill levels in various environments. With this comprehensive information, we craft a personalized treatment plan outlining specific goals, teaching strategies, and progress measurements. This plan evolves as your child grows, with regular progress reviews ensuring we consistently achieve meaningful outcomes, adapting strategies based on your child’s responses and family feedback.

Applied Behavior Analysis has significantly progressed, supported by decades of research and clinical practice. At our Omaha center, we implement evidence-based ABA therapy, backed by extensive peer-reviewed research proving its efficacy in helping children with autism develop crucial skills.

Modern ABA therapy prioritizes natural learning opportunities and positive reinforcement. Through systematic teaching and reinforcement, we assist children in acquiring new skills while reducing challenging behaviors. Research indicates that early intensive behavioral intervention greatly enhances cognitive functioning, language development, and adaptive behavior.

Our approach integrates recent advancements in behavioral science, utilizing both structured teaching sessions and naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions (NDBI), shown to be especially effective for young children. This balanced method helps children develop skills that translate into their daily lives at home, school, and in the community. Studies consistently reveal that children receiving intensive, high-quality ABA therapy often achieve significant gains in language, social skills, and adaptive behaviors, enhance school outcomes, and gain increased independence in daily activities. While each child’s progress is unique, the scientific evidence supporting ABA therapy’s effectiveness is robust and well-documented.

At Flywheel Centers, we understand that parents are vital partners in their child’s development. Our inclusive parent support program offers weekly progress updates, strategy sharing, and hands-on training sessions. Regular meetings cover an array of topics from behavior management to school advocacy, empowering parents to seamlessly integrate therapy benefits into their daily routines. Our team actively collaborates with Omaha schools to ensure consistency across various environments. We maintain open communication with teachers and support staff, provide IEP consultation, and create academic support strategies tailored to both school and home settings.

For children facing feeding challenges, our specialized feeding therapy program targets food selectivity, mealtime behaviors, and safe eating practices. We partner closely with families to develop strategies that enhance mealtime success and enjoyment. Transition support is another cornerstone of our program. Whether your child is beginning school, switching schools, or moving to new therapy programs, we offer structured support to facilitate easier and more successful transitions.
