Exceptional Therapies

Apricott ABA Therapy Center in Savannah offers center-based Applied Behavior Analysis services in a thoughtfully designed, welcoming environment at 410 Mall Blvd, Suite G. What distinguishes Apricott is their commitment to accessibility—they typically have no waitlist and accept Medicaid in addition to major commercial insurance plans, making quality ABA therapy more accessible to families throughout the Savannah area. Their clinic features sensory-friendly rooms, individual treatment rooms, calming zones, a dedicated play area, and accessible facilities to create the optimal learning environment for children with autism. The Savannah clinic provides comprehensive ABA therapy services including initial assessments, center-based ABA therapy, and parent training. Their parent-friendly therapy process was thoughtfully designed by parents who have been in similar situations, ensuring the experience meets the practical needs of families. Parents receive a brief overview after each session and can access detailed progress information through the Central Reach platform. Apricott strongly encourages parent involvement and welcomes families to attend sessions and actively support their child's development. Apricott serves children of all ages, from toddlers to adolescents, with treatment plans tailored to meet each child's specific developmental stage and needs. For families who need it, they can coordinate with schools to explore in-school therapy services when clinically appropriate. The practice accepts multiple insurance providers including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicaid, Optum, Aetna, United Healthcare, Peach State, Amerigroup, CareSource, Cigna, and Beacon. Apricott is BHCOE Accredited (2025-2027), demonstrating their commitment to clinical excellence and evidence-based practices. They also serve families across Georgia through in-home ABA therapy, with service areas including Atlanta, Marietta, Alpharetta, Savannah, and many more communities throughout the state.

Full Spectrum ABA serves the Savannah area with ABA for children and young adults with autism or related needs. The practice is run by BCBAs and some BCBA-Ds, so you are working with behavior-analytic leadership in-house rather than a generic marketing front. You can expect assessment, a written plan, and therapy in the settings that match your case—often home, school, or community—so new skills are practiced where they need to be used. When you call the main line, ask which setting they recommend, how they assign a BCBA, and what weekly hours are realistic under your plan. You should also confirm in-network status, any prior authorization, and how they handle reauthorization as goals change. Intake and billing rules vary, so a short checklist from your member handbook helps.

Live Oak Children’s Therapy on 7130 Hodgson Memorial Drive in Savannah offers pediatric physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy for children from birth through the teen years—not a stand-alone ABA program. The clinic is set up for one-to-one work on motor, speech, and sensory/feeding goals, with a mix of play-based and structured treatment. They list specialty tracks such as aquatic therapy, AAC, feeding and oral-motor work, and reading or articulation tools (for example programs like Handwriting Without Tears, Lindamood–Bell, or Kaufman for childhood apraxia, depending on the therapist and case), plus sensory and motor tools such as NDT, sensory integration, and interactive metronome or listening programs where appropriate. On your first call, ask which disciplines have openings, who would own your child’s plan, and how your insurance or Medicaid covers PT, OT, and SLP sessions separately, because they do not all bill the same way.
