Hamilton, NJ • Ages 1+

A full-day autism preschool program runs at the Flywheel Centers site at 300 American Metro Blvd, Suite 140, which sits on the Route 1 corridor and serves Mercer County and Central Jersey. Peer interaction and systematic skill development sit inside a structured day. Programs serve children ages 18 months through adolescence. Early intensive intervention covers 18 months to 5 years and coordinates with New Jersey's Early Intervention System, including transition planning at age 3. Communication development uses PECS, sign language, and assistive technology. Social skills groups cover turn-taking, sharing, and conversation. Families can choose center-based sessions, in-home sessions, or a combination of the two, and in-home therapy is available anywhere in New Jersey. A supervising BCBA assesses the child and writes the treatment plan, an assigned primary behavior technician runs the sessions, and session data drives revisions to the plan. BCBAs hold master's degrees and New Jersey state licensure. They attend IEP meetings and coordinate with the Hamilton Township school district's special education teams, teachers, and related service providers. Intake starts with a consultation, followed by a BCBA developmental assessment held at the center or in the family home. Most families begin services within 2 to 3 weeks of that assessment, depending on insurance approval. Insurance verification, authorization, reauthorization, and appeals are handled by in-house insurance specialists.
