ABA Therapy in BUCKHEAD, GA
at Flywheel Centers

At Flywheel Centers in Buckhead, we believe that successful ABA therapy begins with thorough assessment and planning. Your journey starts with an in-depth parent interview to understand your child’s unique needs, your family’s goals, and daily routines. This initial conversation allows us to recognize not only your child’s challenges but also their interests, strengths, and personality.

Our comprehensive assessment process consists of multiple components designed to construct a complete picture of your child’s development. Through structured observations and standardized assessments, our BCBAs evaluate key areas such as communication, social interaction, daily living skills, and behavioral patterns. We also determine your child’s learning preferences, motivations, and current skill levels across different environments. Using this detailed information, we develop a personalized treatment plan with specific goals, teaching strategies, and progress measurements. This plan is dynamic – evolving as your child grows and develops. Regular progress reviews ensure that we steadily move towards meaningful outcomes, adjusting strategies based on your child’s responses and family feedback.

Applied Behavior Analysis has greatly evolved through decades of research and clinical practice. At our Buckhead center, we provide evidence-based ABA therapy supported by extensive peer-reviewed research proving 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 assist children in acquiring new skills while reducing challenging behaviors. Research indicates that early intensive behavioral intervention leads to marked improvements in cognitive functioning, language development, and adaptive behavior.

Our methodology incorporates the latest advancements in behavioral science. We utilize both structured teaching sessions and naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions (NDBI), which research shows to be particularly effective for young children. This balanced approach aids children in developing skills that truly carry over to their daily lives at home, school, and in the community. Studies consistently reveal that children who receive intensive, high-quality ABA therapy often make significant gains in language, social skills, and adaptive behaviors. Many achieve better outcomes in school and demonstrate increased independence in daily activities. While every child’s progress is unique, the scientific evidence supporting ABA therapy’s effectiveness is both robust and well-documented.

At Flywheel Centers, we understand that parents are vital to their child’s development journey. Our comprehensive parent support program offers weekly progress updates, strategy sharing, and interactive training sessions. We hold regular meetings covering various topics, from behavior management to school advocacy, empowering parents to integrate therapy advantages into everyday life. Our team collaborates closely with Buckhead schools to maintain consistent support across environments. We offer regular communication with teachers and support staff, provide IEP consultation, and create academic strategies effective both at school and at home.
