In-home and school-based ABA in Athens
We meet your family where you are
School-based ABA
We partner with Athens-Clarke County Schools. Your child's BCBA works with teachers, not against them.
Parent training
Weekly coaching on the strategies our therapists use. Progress doesn't stop when the session ends.
Early intervention
For children under 3, we build communication and social skills from the ground up.
Daycare coordination
Same language everywhere your child learns.
Weekend therapy
Saturday or Sunday for families who need flexibility.
Working directly with Athens-Clarke County Schools
Your child's school is part of the plan
We work directly with Athens-Clarke County Schools. Our BCBAs show up for IEP meetings, coordinate in the classroom, talk with teachers. You don't have to translate between home and school. We do.
Getting an autism diagnosis in Athens
Most Athens families start with an evaluation
If your child hasn't been evaluated yet, ask your pediatrician for a referral to University Health Center or a local developmental pediatrician. That's where most Athens families begin. Once you have a diagnosis, we can start therapy within 2–4 weeks. Read: "How to get an autism diagnosis in Georgia" and "First steps after diagnosis."
Georgia Medicaid and Ava's Law coverage
We handle the paperwork
Georgia Medicaid
covers ABA therapy based on medical necessity. No annual cap. We verify, we authorize, you don't worry.
Ava's Law
(commercial, age 20 and under) — Covers up to $35,000 per year. We handle all authorization.
Other commercial plans
Alliant Health Plans, Cigna, Curative, First Health, and more.
Insurance shouldn't be another full-time job.
Geography matters in Athens
Geography shouldn't matter. But it does in Athens.
Athens is home to the University of Georgia, nestled in the Piedmont. Classic neighborhoods, college town atmosphere. A clinic appointment means driving time, your child arriving dysregulated before therapy starts. In-home therapy eliminates that. We come to you, downtown Athens, campus-area neighborhoods, nearby areas. Therapy happens where your child needs the skills.
Consistent care from the same BCBA
Your child works with the same clinician every time
Real clinicians with real roots here. Meet the team. Each BCBA carries a smaller caseload. Your child isn't a number rotating through a roster. Same therapist every session.
Real mornings with ABA in Athens
Mornings don't have to be battles
Before
Before therapy, 7 a.m. means meltdowns.
After
After? Your therapist arrives at 8:15, no commute, no traffic. By 8:45, your child is working on transitions while your therapist celebrates every small win.
