Empowering Lives: Comprehensive Care for Autism and Developmental Disabilities at Georgia Behavioral Health

We recognize that neurodiversity is a natural part of the human experience. We're committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities, empowering them to thrive and live fulfilling lives.

Understanding Autism and Developmental Disabilities

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that affects how individuals communicate, interact with others, and perceive the world around them. It encompasses a wide range of strengths and challenges, and every individual on the spectrum is unique.

Other developmental disabilities may include intellectual disabilities, ADHD, learning disorders, and communication disorders. These conditions can affect a person's cognitive, social, and emotional development, impacting their daily functioning and quality of life.

Our Approach to Care

Our team of experienced psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists takes a holistic, person-centered approach to care. We believe in the importance of tailoring treatment plans to each individual's specific needs, strengths, and goals.

Services We Offer

• Comprehensive Assessment: We conduct thorough evaluations to accurately diagnose ASD and other developmental disabilities, utilizing a range of standardized assessments and clinical observations.

• Individualized Therapy: We offer a variety of evidence-based therapies, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), social skills training, and speech therapy, to help individuals develop skills, manage challenges, and achieve their goals.

• Family Support and Education: We understand that ASD and other developmental disabilities affect the entire family. We offer family therapy, parent training, and resources to help families navigate the challenges and celebrate the victories.

• Medication Management: In some cases, medication may be recommended to help manage specific symptoms or co-occurring conditions. We carefully evaluate each individual's needs and monitor medication effectiveness closely.
