Why Choose ATG
More reasons families trust us
Certified Care
Our therapists are RBT-certified, the national credential for direct-care behavior technicians, and every clinic is supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Every session is backed by real credentials, not just promises.
Family-owned, award-winning culture
Many ABA providers answer to outside investors and taper off support once early intervention ends. ATG is built for kids, not shareholders, a Great Place to Work every year since 2021, with support that stays because progress doesn't stop at age 7.
Independence Together
Personalized plans, center-based, in-home, or hybrid, built around your child. Our mission: life-changing services for families, every step of the way.

Common Questions
Common questions
At what age can my child start ABA therapy?
There's no minimum age. Early intervention, starting as young as 18 months, tends to produce the strongest long-term outcomes.
Do I need a diagnosis before starting ABA therapy?
In most cases, yes. Most insurance carriers require an autism diagnosis to authorize coverage, but our team can help if you're still early in that process.
Does insurance cover ABA therapy?
In most cases, yes. All 50 states require insurance plans to cover autism-related services, though the specifics vary by plan.
Does Medicaid cover ABA therapy?
Yes, in every state we serve, for children who qualify with a documented autism diagnosis.

Once insurance is confirmed, a BCBA meets your child for a thorough assessment that becomes the basis for their treatment plan.
-
Individualized treatment plan
Your child's BCBA builds a plan tailored to their specific needs, goals, and daily environment.
-
Start of Services
Once your plan is approved, we confirm your schedule and introduce your child to their therapist(s) to begin ongoing sessions.
