ABA Therapy in BUFORD HIGHWAY, GA
at Flywheel Centers

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

Our assessment process involves multiple components, each carefully designed to build a complete picture of your child’s development. Through structured observations and standardized assessments, our BCBAs evaluate key areas including communication, social interaction, daily living skills, and behavioral patterns. We also assess how your child learns best, their motivations, and their current skill levels across different environments. Using this comprehensive information, we develop a personalized treatment plan that outlines specific goals, teaching strategies, and progress measurements. This plan isn’t static – it evolves as your child grows and develops. Regular progress reviews ensure we’re consistently moving toward meaningful outcomes while 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 Buford Highway center, we implement evidence-based ABA therapy that’s supported by extensive peer-reviewed research demonstrating its effectiveness in helping children with autism develop crucial skills.

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

Our approach incorporates the latest advancements in behavioral science. We utilize both structured teaching sessions and naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions (NDBI), which research has shown to be particularly effective for young children. This balanced approach helps children 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 make substantial 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 robust and well-documented.
