About Us
ABA Therapy in Atlanta, Built Around Your Child
Most families find us somewhere between a diagnosis and a decision, and that’s rarely a comfortable place to be. Aim Higher ABA provides applied behavior analysis therapy for children and teens ages 2 to 18 throughout Atlanta. We take on the heavy lifting: the assessment, the treatment plan, scheduling, insurance paperwork, and all the questions nobody prepared you for.
Your child won’t be fitted into a program. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) writes each child’s plan after a full assessment. A registered behavior technician carries it out day to day under that BCBA’s supervision. As your child grows and changes, the plan changes too. We’ll walk you through our [ABA therapy services] as we go.
We want you involved from day one. Parent and caregiver coaching is a core part of our approach because therapy hours are only a small slice of your child’s week. Our aim is that when something works in a session, you can use it at home on an ordinary weeknight.
Reach us at (678) 400-5040 or [email protected]. We’re glad to talk before you commit to anything.
At Aim Higher ABA, our ultimate goal is to:
- A calmer, more peaceful home life
- Readiness for success at school
- Stronger communication and social skills
- Fewer challenging behaviors, and better ways to manage them
- Everyday living skills that build independence

Choosing Your Therapy Setting
When a parent is deciding on the right environment for their child’s therapy, it helps to understand what suits each setting:
- In-Home ABA Therapy in Atlanta: Ideal for skills your child needs to use in their daily household routine. If your child struggles with mealtime flexibility, bedtime transitions, or sibling interactions, working with a therapist directly in your living room ensures the skills stick.
- Center-Based ABA in Decatur: Our dedicated clinic is located at 1549 Clairmont Rd #103, Decatur, GA 30033. This center is highly convenient for families in DeKalb, Midtown, and the eastern suburbs. Center-based therapy is often the best choice for children preparing for school, providing a structured space to practice peer interaction, group learning, and classroom readiness.
- School-Based Support: We collaborate with local educators to help children transition the behavioral and social skills they learn at home or the clinic into their school environment.
Many families choose a hybrid approach, combining visits to the Decatur clinic with scheduled in-home sessions.
How We Start With a New Atlanta Family
Starting therapy is a simple, straightforward process:
- Contact Us: Reach out to confirm whether in-home or clinic-based care is the best fit for your location in Atlanta.
- Insurance Verification: We verify your benefits and handle the authorization paperwork.
- Clinical Assessment: A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) evaluates your child and designs a personalized plan.
- Therapy Begins: Your matched Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) begins regular sessions.
Children and Teenagers Ages 2 to 18 |
We work with children from age 2 through 18, and therapy looks very different across that range. Young children: Much of the work is purposeful play. We focus on asking for what they need, communicating, handling transitions, joining in with others, and making tough daily routines easier. Early intervention gives us a lot to work with, and we make the most of it. School-age children: Goals often shift toward independence and the classroom. That includes following multi-step directions, coping with frustration, self-care, staying on task, and getting along with peers. Teenagers: The focus moves again. Teens have their own views about their therapy, and those views matter. Goals usually center on independence and daily living: getting around, personal care, managing a schedule, speaking up for themselves, and planning for life after school. Wherever we can, we involve teens in setting their own goals, because people work harder for goals they’ve agreed to. At every age, we focus on building skills and removing barriers. Compliance for its own sake is never the goal. |
Insurance, Medicaid and the Paperwork We Take On |
Paperwork is where many Atlanta families get stuck, so we take it off your plate. We accept Georgia Medicaid and most commercial insurance plans. Our insurance team verifies your benefits, submits the authorization request, tracks its progress, and follows up on claims. You won’t have to chase faxes or wait on hold trying to figure out prior authorizations. We’ll keep you informed at every step: what your plan appears to cover, what documents are still needed, and where things stand. We won’t promise an approval or a start date, because no provider can honestly guarantee either. Not sure what your plan covers? That’s okay. Call us at (678) 400-5040 with your insurance card handy, and we’ll take it from there. |
