Matthew Reardon Center for Autism

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.

Above and Beyond ABA serves the Savannah area with in-home, center, and school-based ABA, so you can compare where your child does best: home for routine-based goals, a clinic for structured sessions, or school for alignment with the IEP team when the district and payer agree. The usual flow is an inquiry call, information gathering, insurance or Medicaid authorization, BCBA assessment, then a scheduled therapist under BCBA supervision. They take Medicaid and most major plans; you should still verify in-network status, any prior authorization, and out-of-pocket amounts. A parent portal shares updates between visits—ask how often the BCBA will adjust the plan and how you are included in that loop.

Benchmark Human Services offers ABA support for children and teens with autism in Georgia, including Savannah. Families can ask about behavioral therapy, social skills work, group therapy, and caregiver training. Services are offered across multiple Georgia communities instead of through a single Savannah clinic.
