Flywheel ABA Centers opens Union location, pledges one-to-one autism services and no wait list
Summary
Flywheel ABA Centers held a ribbon-cutting at its new Union location, announcing one-to-one ABA therapy, parent training, a summer program and that the center currently has no wait list; local chamber and township leaders welcomed the business.
Flywheel ABA Centers marked the opening of its Union location with a ribbon-cutting attended by company representatives, local chamber leaders and township officials. John Hrabowski, a community representative for Flywheel, said the center provides "comprehensive and state of the art ABA therapy with 1 to 1 direct services" for children on the autism spectrum and offers parent training.
Why it matters: The new center adds a local option for applied behavior analysis (ABA) services in Union Township, which county and business leaders said fills a community need and could improve timely access to therapy for families. Jim Masterson, chairman of the greater chamber, noted that chamber members provided photography and coffee for the opening and expressed support for the business's success.
Hrabowski said Flywheel operates four New Jersey centers—Morristown, Edison, Union and Hamilton—and that the Union location has been open about four to five months. He described services delivered in center locations, in schools and in clients' homes "anywhere where the client feels the most inclusive and in their natural environment." The center offers a summer program for children ages 2 to 6 and regular services for ages 6 to 12.
On capacity and access, Hrabowski said the Union center currently serves about "25 active clients right now, 30 depending on the next coming weeks," and that the center has "no wait list at this time," adding that an intake staff member will contact applicants to begin services. He listed hours of operation as 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and provided contact details: helloflywheel.com and (866) 438-2221, and social channels under "Flywheel ABA Centers."
Antonio Demodeci, executive director of the SID, welcomed Flywheel to the township and said the business looks forward to participating in local events. The ribbon-cutting concluded with attendees cutting the ribbon and brief remarks by Union TV host Edith Thomas.
The opening is a local business event rather than a governmental action; no formal votes or policy decisions were announced. For more information or to inquire about services, the company provided the website and phone number during the event.
