ABA Therapy in Belmont, NC
at Flywheel Centers

At Flywheel Centers in Belmont, we believe successful ABA therapy starts with a thorough assessment and planning process. Your journey begins with a detailed parent interview where we learn about your child’s specific needs, your family goals, and your daily routines. This initial discussion helps us understand not only your child’s challenges but also their interests, strengths, and personality.

Our assessment process includes multiple components, each designed to create a complete picture of your child’s development. Through structured observations and standardized assessments, our BCBAs evaluate vital areas like communication, social interaction, daily living skills, and behavioral patterns. We also assess your child’s learning style, motivations, and current skill levels across different environments. Using this comprehensive information, we develop a personalized treatment plan that specifies goals, teaching strategies, and progress measurements. This plan evolves as your child grows. Regular progress reviews ensure we are constantly working toward meaningful outcomes, adjusting strategies based on your child’s responses and family feedback.

Applied Behavior Analysis has evolved significantly over decades of research and clinical practice. At our Belmont center, we implement evidence-based ABA therapy backed by extensive research demonstrating its effectiveness in helping children with autism develop essential skills.

Modern ABA therapy emphasizes natural learning opportunities and positive reinforcement. Through systematic teaching and reinforcement strategies, we aid children in acquiring new skills while reducing challenging behaviors. Research indicates that early intensive behavioral intervention leads to significant improvements in cognitive functioning, language development, and adaptive behavior.

Our approach integrates the latest advancements in behavioral science. We use both structured teaching sessions and naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions (NDBI), proving particularly effective for young children. This balanced approach enables children to develop skills that truly transfer to their daily lives at home, school, and in the community. Studies consistently show that children who receive intensive, high-quality ABA therapy often experience substantial improvements in language, social skills, and adaptive behaviors. Many achieve better results in school and demonstrate 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 crucial partners in their child’s developmental journey. Our comprehensive parent support program delivers weekly progress updates, shares effective strategies, and offers hands-on training sessions. Regular meetings cover essential topics ranging from behavior management to school advocacy, empowering parents to extend therapy benefits into daily life. We actively collaborate with Belmont schools to ensure consistency across all environments. This includes maintaining regular communication with teachers and support staff, providing IEP consultation, and crafting academic support strategies that thrive both at school and at home.

Our center recognizes that each child has unique needs. For those facing feeding challenges, our specialized feeding therapy program addresses food selectivity, mealtime behaviors, and safe eating practices.
