Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the therapy most often recommended after an autism diagnosis in Georgia — and it's also the one families tend to have the most questions about. Approaches vary a lot from provider to provider.

In Marietta and Cobb County, availability is good — this is metro Atlanta, with many center-based and in-home providers — so the bigger hurdles are usually cost and waitlists.

This page walks through how ABA is typically funded here and how to start the search — including Ava's Law, Georgia Medicaid, and the Katie Beckett pathway that many families find is the key door.
