North Georgia Autism Center

What North Georgia Autism Center does

North Georgia Autism Center (NGAC) is a private, for-profit provider of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy serving children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder across four clinic locations in North Georgia: Woodstock (headquarters), Calhoun, Cartersville, and Rome. Founded in 2018, the company employs 51–100 staff organized around a Clinical Leadership team of more than a dozen clinicians, and operates under a founder/owner-led, privately-held structure with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company.

NGAC's core offering is one-on-one ABA therapy, delivered as the foundational intervention across all programs and individualized to each client's targets, which span social skills, emerging vocal/language, daily living skills, functional play, receptive identification, and reduction of maladaptive behaviors. Around that core, the company packages an Early Intervention Program for children ages six and under (preparing them for mainstream kindergarten), a Parent Training program woven into all services to support home-based implementation, and a Verbal Behavior and Communication program using a total communication approach to grow functional language. The Woodstock facility was renovated specifically for autistic learners, and the Calhoun site was purpose-built with learning-focused murals. NGAC holds the highest level of BHCOE (Behavioral Health Center of Excellence) accreditation, a credential rarely awarded in the ABA industry, valid for a three-year term.

The business model is direct-to-consumer professional services billed through insurance. Families initiate intake via phone or web registration; onboarding requires insurance verification, a letter of medical necessity, a psychological evaluation, and policy owner identification, and billing follows standard healthcare cost-sharing practices (copayments, coinsurance, deductibles) under No Surprise Act requirements. The go-to-market is regional, relying on organic social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram), educational content marketing (ABA 101 articles, blog posts), virtual clinic tours, and a 2022 national documentary feature (The Viewpoint Project with Dennis Quaid) for brand awareness. Clinical staff receive 80 hours of initial training, ongoing RBT certification support, and a BCBA candidate pathway, indicating an investment in workforce development to support multi-site scaling.
