ABA Therapy in POWER FERRY, GA
at Flywheel Centers

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

Our assessment process involves several components thoughtfully designed to create 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 current skill levels across environments. Using this comprehensive information, we craft a personalized treatment plan that includes specific goals, teaching strategies, and progress measurements. This plan isn’t static – it evolves as your child grows and develops. Regular progress evaluations ensure we’re continuously working toward meaningful outcomes while adjusting strategies based on your child’s responses and family feedback.

Applied Behavior Analysis has evolved significantly through decades of research and clinical practice. At our Powers Ferry center, we implement evidence-based ABA therapy supported by extensive peer-reviewed research demonstrating its effectiveness in helping children with autism develop crucial skills.

Modern ABA therapy emphasizes natural learning opportunities and positive reinforcement. Through systematic teaching and reinforcement strategies, we assist children in learning 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 use both structured teaching sessions and naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions (NDBIs), which have shown particular effectiveness for young children. This balanced approach helps children develop skills that transfer effectively to their everyday lives at home, school, and in the community. Studies consistently show that children receiving intensive, high-quality ABA therapy often achieve notable 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 remains robust and well-documented.

At Flywheel Centers, we understand that parents are crucial partners in their child’s development journey. Our robust parent support program offers weekly progress updates, strategy sharing, and hands-on training sessions. These regular meetings cover a range of topics such as behavior management and school advocacy, empowering parents to extend the benefits of therapy into daily life. Our team collaborates closely with Powers Ferry schools to ensure a seamless integration of therapy strategies across all environments. We maintain ongoing communication with teachers and support staff, offer IEP consultations, and develop academic support strategies tailored for both school and home settings.

If your child faces feeding challenges, our specialized feeding therapy program addresses food selectivity, mealtime behaviors, and safe eating practices. We work in partnership with families to devise strategies that make mealtimes successful and enjoyable. Our transition support services are also a vital aspect of our offerings. Whether it’s starting school, changing schools, or moving into new therapy programs, we provide structured support to ensure smooth and successful transitions.
