Progress ABA: Behavioral Consulting and Therapy Services, LLC
VerifiedOur Goal is to provide highly effective treatment for children with autism and their parents by following a method scientifically proven to bring clear results. The method we use is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) based on extensive clinical peer reviewed research. We service families with children and adolescents on the autism spectrum 18 months to 18 years. Therapy addresses a variety of areas including language, cognitive, social, self-help (potty training, dressing, grooming, eating), gross motor & fine motor skills, play skills, and behavioral issues. Behavioral consultation includes skill assessment, functional behavioral assessment, treatment planning, parent training, and creating a behavior intervention plan (BIP). We are locally owned with a heavy emphasis on in family involvement, flexibility, intervening in natural environments (home, schools, daycares, and other community locations), and extensive Registered Behavior Technicians (RBT) training. We provide individualized treatment with hours recommended based on thorough assessment (4-40 hours a week depending on level of need). Our goal is for the child/adolescent to become more independent, develop healthy relationships, and eventually fade services. Our Behavior Analysts provide in-person supervision so that we can give RBT's direct support and adjust plans as needed. We provide parent training to help families work with their own children.

Why Choose ABA Therapy in Atlanta?
Atlanta is the epicenter of autism treatment in Georgia, with the highest concentration of BCBAs and ABA therapy providers in the state. The Marcus Autism Center, a partnership between Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and Emory University School of Medicine, treats over 5,000 children per year across three locations and is one of the top-ranked autism programs in the country. Beyond Marcus, Atlanta has dozens of private ABA clinics, in-home providers, and hospital-affiliated programs spread across the metro. Families in Midtown, Buckhead, Decatur, East Atlanta, and the Perimeter area all have options within a reasonable drive. Georgia's autism insurance law and Georgia Medicaid, including children who qualify through the Katie Beckett program, help families across income levels pay for ABA.
Comprehensive Autism Therapy Services in Atlanta
Atlanta families can choose from clinic-based ABA, in-home therapy, school consultation, and hybrid models. The Marcus Autism Center (main campus at 1920 Briarcliff Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30329; 404-785-9400) offers diagnostic evaluations, research-backed treatment programs, feeding programs, and parent training. Marcus also operates satellite locations at the Northside Professional Center (975 Johnson Ferry Rd NE, Suite 380) and Children's at Forsyth (410 Peachtree Pkwy, Suite 300, Cumming, GA 30041). For ongoing daily ABA, many families use private providers: ABA Centers of Georgia (3098 Piedmont Rd NE #200, Atlanta, GA 30324; 855-929-5058) offers in-home ABA with rapid intake and accepts most insurance, and also has an Alpharetta location (4300 Alexander Dr #200, Alpharetta, GA 30022). The Atlanta Autism Center is another BCBA-staffed local option. Early intervention for children birth to 3 is available through Babies Can't Wait, Georgia's Part C program administered by the Department of Public Health—you can search for your local BCW coordinator at the DPH service finder. Parent to Parent of Georgia (800-229-2038) connects families with trained parent mentors who have navigated the system themselves. Speech therapy, occupational therapy, and social skills groups are widely available across the metro, so families can assemble a full care team without traveling far. When exploring special needs educational programs alongside behavioral therapy, families in Atlanta often find that coordinated services produce the best outcomes.
Understanding Insurance Coverage for ABA Therapy in Atlanta
Georgia's autism coverage law, O.C.G.A. 33-24-59.10, was strengthened by Ava's Law in 2015 and expanded again in 2018. It requires state-regulated health insurance policies and HMO contracts, including the State Health Benefit Plan, to cover autism for covered individuals age 20 and under. Plans must cover diagnostic assessments by a licensed physician or psychologist and medically necessary applied behavior analysis, which a nationally board certified behavior analyst must provide or supervise. Plans may not limit the number of visits but may cap ABA at $35,000 per year, and payments for care unrelated to autism do not count toward that cap. A licensed physician or psychologist may be asked to confirm ongoing medical necessity at least once a year. The law does not apply to plans offered by employers with 10 or fewer employees, exchange plans do not have to cover benefits beyond the federal essential health benefits, and self-funded employer plans follow federal ERISA rules instead. Georgia Medicaid covers Adaptive Behavior Services, its name for ABA, for members under 21 with a documented autism diagnosis from a licensed physician or psychologist, including children in Georgia Families plans and the Katie Beckett program. No NOW or COMP waiver is needed. Prior authorization is required for all services, with the assessment and the treatment plan authorized separately. Families seeking additional support may find valuable resources through Georgia's special needs resource directory.
Georgia Autism Support Programs and Regulations
Babies Can't Wait, run by the Georgia Department of Public Health, is Georgia's early intervention program under Part C of IDEA. It serves children from birth to the third birthday, regardless of income, who have a diagnosed condition likely to cause delay or a confirmed developmental delay. Anyone can refer a child by sending the state's Child Health Referral Form to the local referral contact for the county where the family lives, or by phone, email, fax, letter or in person. Evaluation and service coordination are free; other services use a sliding fee scale based on ability to pay, and Medicaid and private insurance are billed with the family's permission. After the third birthday, the local school system handles Child Find and special education evaluation. For longer term support, the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities operates the NOW and COMP Medicaid waivers for people with an intellectual disability or a closely related developmental disability, such as autism, that substantially limits functioning. Applicants who appear eligible go on a planning list, and funding goes to those with the highest need rather than by time on the list. When exploring specialized educational programs to complement ABA therapy, Atlanta families have access to a comprehensive network of support services.
Selecting the right ABA therapy provider in Atlanta is an important decision that can significantly impact your child's progress. The 53 therapy providers serving the Atlanta area each bring unique strengths, from specialized early intervention programs to school-based services and intensive behavioral support. Many Atlanta providers offer comprehensive parent training, ensuring that therapeutic strategies extend seamlessly into daily life. With Georgia's strong insurance protections and regulatory framework supporting autism treatment, families in Atlanta can confidently access high-quality, evidence-based ABA therapy services designed to help children reach their full potential.
