Flywheel Centers

What Flywheel Centers does

Flywheel Centers is a private, for-profit provider of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy and related therapeutic services for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families. The company was founded in 2021 and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, while delivering care across 15 physical center locations in seven U.S. states (Georgia, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland). Service delivery is led by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) using evidence-based ABA methodologies including discrete trial training, naturalistic teaching, positive reinforcement, and functional communication training, with sensory-integration principles integrated into the model.

The product portfolio centers on center-based and in-home ABA therapy, supplemented by a full-day preschool ABA program (ages 2-6), community- and school-based support, telehealth for parent training, and — at select locations — occupational therapy and speech therapy. Patient segments span early intervention (ages 0-6), core pediatric autism care, and adolescents requiring transition-focused life-skills and vocational preparation. The company markets directly to consumers via a content-driven funnel (educational blog, resource libraries, newsletter, online application) and captures leads through a no-waitlist intake process with on-staff insurance verification.

Flywheel generates revenue primarily through insurance billing — direct billing to major commercial payors and Medicaid for recurring therapy hours — with families responsible only for co-pays, deductibles, and non-covered services. Operational posture includes HIPAA-compliant PHI handling, multi-state licensed clinical staffing, and active hiring across RBT and BCBA pipelines. The firm operates as a private, independent entity with no disclosed parent company, private-equity sponsor, or venture funding.
