What ABA therapy helps Georgia children achieve
What progress looks like
Communication
Your child learns to ask for what they need instead of melting down. First with gestures, then words, then full sentences. You hear "I love you" for the first time.
Independence
They brush their teeth without a battle. Get dressed by themselves. Navigate the morning routine without you hovering. Small wins that change your entire day.
Resilience
Transitions don't end in tears anymore. They handle disappointment without falling apart. When things don't go as planned, they recover. They adapt.

In-home & school-based ABA therapy Georgia
Progress where your child needs it most
We bring expert ABA therapy for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to your home in Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah, or anywhere across Georgia. Your child learns where they're most comfortable—during breakfast, bedtime, playtime, the real moments that matter.
We partner with Georgia schools—Atlanta Public Schools, Gwinnett County Public Schools, Cobb County, and others—to provide ABA support during the school day, helping your child succeed in the classroom.
We equip you with ABA strategies to support your child's progress everywhere—not just during therapy hours. Weekly check-ins, live coaching, written strategies you can use at home.
What makes Achieve different in Georgia
Not all ABA therapy is created equal
Great ABA starts with BCBAs who actually supervise
Our BCBAs provide personalized supervision and attention. Your child gets an individualized program, not a template.
Great ABA maximizes your insurance benefits
Georgia Medicaid covers therapy based on medical need with no annual cap. Commercial plans are covered up to $35,000 annually under Ava's Law. We know how to use these benefits strategically—intensive therapy when your child needs it most, maintenance support as they progress. We fight to get the hours authorized.
Great ABA adapts to your life
Cookie-cutter therapy doesn't work. We bring sessions to your home, your child's school, or our clinic—wherever they'll make the most progress. Whether you're in metro Atlanta or rural Georgia, we adjust.
Great ABA includes you
You're not a spectator. We train you on the same strategies our therapists use, so progress doesn't stop when the session ends.
Great ABA measures results
We track data from day one. You'll see concrete proof of what's working—and we adjust what isn't.
Metro Atlanta vs rest of Georgia—where services are concentrated
ABA therapy in Atlanta and beyond
Metro Atlanta
(Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Johns Creek, Brookhaven)
If you live in the Atlanta metro area, you'll have consistent access to in-home and school-based ABA therapy. Most appointment times are available. Our team coordinates with Atlanta Public Schools and major metro school districts regularly.
Rest of Georgia
(Savannah, Augusta, Columbus, Athens, Macon, Albany)
Families outside the metro area also deserve expert ABA therapy. We serve rural and mid-size Georgia communities with in-home ABA therapy and school-based support. Some areas may have longer travel times for center-based therapy, so we emphasize in-home and telehealth options to ensure you're never without support.
Geographic access shouldn't determine your child's progress. We'll work with your family to figure out what works best.

After working with several ABA providers, we finally found this company and the difference has been clear. Their hiring standards are noticeably higher, and it shows in the quality of their behavior technicians and clinical team. The staff is well-trained, consistent, and professional, and the supervision is strong and reliable. We’ve seen much better communication and overall care compared to previous providers. We’re very glad we made the switch and would highly recommend them.

ABA therapy in Georgia—frequently asked questions
Great questions
How much does ABA therapy cost in Georgia?
Most families pay little to nothing out of pocket. Georgia Medicaid covers ABA therapy based on medical necessity with no annual cap. Commercial plans are covered up to $35,000 annually under Ava's Law. We verify your benefits upfront and explain any copays or deductibles before therapy begins.
Does Georgia Medicaid cover ABA therapy?
Yes. Georgia Medicaid covers ABA therapy for children with autism based on medical necessity. There is no annual cap on Medicaid coverage. We handle all the authorization paperwork.
Does Ava's Law apply to my specific insurance plan?
Ava's Law applies to commercial insurance plans. We verify your specific plan during consultation to clarify exactly what's covered under Ava's Law ($35,000 annually) or Georgia Medicaid (no cap based on medical necessity).
How do I get my child evaluated for autism in Georgia?
The Marcus Autism Center at Emory and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta is Georgia's leading diagnostic center. You can also ask your pediatrician for a referral to any qualified diagnostician. Once you have a diagnosis, we can begin ABA therapy quickly through Georgia Medicaid or commercial coverage.
How many hours of ABA therapy per week does my child need in Georgia?
Most children receive between 10-40 hours of ABA therapy per week, depending on their age, needs, and insurance authorization. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts assess your child and recommend the appropriate number of hours. Georgia Medicaid covers medically necessary hours with no cap, and commercial plans allow substantial hours under Ava's Law benefits.
What's the difference between in-home and school-based ABA in Georgia?
In-home ABA therapy brings expert therapists to your house, where your child is most comfortable. Ideal for teaching daily living skills and family routines.
School-based ABA therapy partners with your child's school to provide support during the school day, helping them succeed in the classroom.
At Achieve Behavioral, we offer both and work with your family to determine the best setting.
Does Achieve accept my Georgia insurance?
We accept Georgia Medicaid through Amerigroup. We also accept commercial plans including Alliant Health Plans, Cigna, Curative, and First Health. We verify your benefits before therapy begins and handle all authorization and billing.
How quickly can we start ABA therapy in Georgia?
Most Achieve Behavioral families begin therapy within 14 days of initial contact. We don't have a waitlist. Once your coverage is verified and the assessment is complete, therapy starts right away.
What qualifications do your therapists have in Georgia?
All therapy is supervised by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) who hold master's or doctoral degrees, are licensed in Georgia, and are certified by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB). Therapy is delivered by Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) who are trained and supervised by our BCBAs.
What age should ABA therapy start in Georgia?
The earlier, the better. ABA therapy is most effective when started early—ideally between ages 2-6—but children of all ages can benefit. Early intervention for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) leads to the best long-term outcomes. We work with children from toddlers through age 20 across Georgia.
