Georgia offers a growing network of support services for families navigating an autism diagnosis. From state-funded programs to private therapy providers, families have access to options that address the whole child.

ABA Therapy Services in Georgia

Georgia’s autism insurance mandate requires most private insurers to cover ABA therapy for children. Treetop ABA Therapy provides services across Georgia, including both center-based and in-home options. When choosing a provider, look for BCBAs who take a compassionate, individualized approach and involve families as active participants.

State-Funded Resources

Georgia’s DBHDD coordinates services for individuals with developmental disabilities. The NOW and COMP Medicaid waivers fund respite care, supported employment, and community living support. Babies Can’t Wait, Georgia’s early intervention program, provides services at no cost for children birth to three.

Educational Support

Georgia public schools provide special education through IEPs. Parents should know their rights under IDEA, including the right to request evaluations and participate in all IEP decisions.

Community Resources

The Autism Society of Greater Georgia and the Marcus Autism Center at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta provide family support, workshops, and community events. These resources help families connect with others who share similar experiences.
