Staff Report From Augusta CEO

Wednesday, February 13th, 2019

Fusion Autism Center (FAC) is proud to announce the expansion of their center-based ABA therapy services for children on the autism spectrum. With previous locations in Cumming, Duluth, Marietta, Roswell, Peachtree, and Woodstock; this new center in Augusta will bring much-needed services to the special needs community in that area as well.

Kristy Rohwedder, CEO of FAC and Fusion Autism Center proclaimed, "Our team has been working diligently to offer more services to deserving families in the great state of Georgia. The Augusta location will represent our 7th Fusion Autism Center and add to our network of more than 30 locations throughout the state of Florida, known as Florida Autism Center. What a great feeling it is to share in the joy of providing children more access to ABA therapy in their own backyards."

Over 30 years of research has demonstrated the effectiveness of ABA for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Children who receive early, intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) have demonstrated positive improvements in their development. Each child's program is written collaboratively to meet the individual needs and goals of each child and family.

"FAC is committed to providing our staff with efficient and effective training to ensure quality, evidence-based services are provided to the children and families we serve," said Melissa King, Ph.D., BCBA-D, LBA, Chief Clinical Officer.

FAC has an ongoing partnership with the University of Florida that allows the most cutting-edge, data-based ABA research to be implemented immediately across all our center locations.

"Applied behavior analysis is not just a therapy, it is a way of life," said Dr. Timothy Vollmer, Ph.D., BCBA-D, University of Florida and FAC Affiliate.

FAC is currently enrolling clients for all Georgia locations, offering private tours, and helping parents navigate through the complex insurance approval process.
