ABA Therapy in DEKALB PERIMETOR, GA
at Flywheel Centers

At Flywheel Centers in DeKalb-Perimeter, we believe successful ABA therapy begins with thorough assessment and planning. Your journey starts with a detailed parent interview to learn about your child’s unique needs, family goals, and daily routines. This initial conversation provides insight into your child’s challenges, interests, strengths, and personality.

Our assessment process consists of multiple components 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 learning preferences, motivations, and current skill levels across different environments. Using this comprehensive information, we develop a personalized treatment plan outlining specific goals, teaching strategies, and progress measurements. This plan evolves with your child, ensuring consistent movement toward meaningful outcomes while adjusting strategies based on their progress and family feedback.

Applied Behavior Analysis has significantly evolved over decades of research and practice. At Flywheel Centers in DeKalb-Perimeter, we implement evidence-based ABA therapy, supported by extensive peer-reviewed research proving its effectiveness in helping children with autism develop crucial skills.

Modern ABA focuses on natural learning opportunities and positive reinforcement. Our systematic teaching and reinforcement strategies 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, using both structured teaching sessions and naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions (NDBI), which are particularly effective for young children. This balanced approach encourages skill development that children can apply in their daily lives at home, school, and within the community. Studies consistently demonstrate that children receiving intensive, high-quality ABA therapy 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.
