In-home ABA therapy
Your child learns where they're most comfortable—at home, during breakfast, bath time, bedtime, the moments that matter most. Your therapist comes to you and works during your real routines because skills learned where your child actually lives are skills that stick.

In-school support
Your child doesn't have to navigate school alone. Our therapists work alongside them in the classroom, at recess, during lunch—the places where your child spends most of their day—so they can participate, learn, and build confidence with their peers.

Getting started with ABA therapy in Georgia
Getting started with ABA therapy in Georgia
Five simple steps
Getting started with ABA therapy in Georgia
Five simple steps
1. Your child needs an autism diagnosis
Before Georgia Medicaid will cover ABA therapy, your child needs a formal autism spectrum disorder diagnosis from a qualified professional, and if your child doesn't have a diagnosis yet your pediatrician can refer you to a developmental specialist or psychologist who can complete the evaluation.
2. You call us or fill out a form
Tell us about your child and your situation, and we answer your questions honestly and explain what happens next with no pressure or sales pitch.
3. We verify your insurance within 24 hours
Blossom's enrollment coordinator verifies your Georgia Medicaid or PeachCare coverage in 24 hours and you'll know exactly what your plan covers and what you'll pay out of pocket before anything else happens.
4. Our BCBA assesses your child
Our Board Certified Behavior Analyst meets with your child and your family, understands what your child needs, and creates a treatment plan designed specifically for them, not a generic template for every kid.
5. We submit the paperwork and therapy starts
Blossom's enrollment coordinator handles the prior authorization with Georgia DCH or your MCO so you don't have to fight with your insurance company, and we follow up so approval comes through, then your child's therapist arrives and begins working with them.

The enrollment coordinator verified our PeachCare coverage so quickly. I thought it would take weeks and it took less than a day. Blossom made the whole process easy.
I have truly enjoyed working with Hannah Hayes and Kelli Hooker- Hawkins. Hannah is a great BCBA that observes my daughter carefully and give the best advise on how to combat behavioral issues. Kelli is a great RBT with years of experience and truly loves the kids that she works with. I couldn’t ask for a better team.
Michelle, Savannah
Terranesha Howard
Our daughter's therapist is consistent and our son has built real trust with her. She's not just going through motions—she genuinely cares about his progress and celebrates his wins with us.
