- Small BCBA caseloads mean that each Board Certified Behavior Analyst personally builds and monitors your child’s program.
- Registered Behavior Technicians train for 4 times longer than the industry standard before working with clients.

- Daily living and routines: smoother mornings, mealtimes, and transitions.

How We Teach at Our Acworth Center
Every child’s program at our Acworth center includes Relational Frame Theory (RFT), a way of teaching children to connect ideas so they can understand things they were never directly taught. For example, a child who learns that a dime is worth more than a nickel, and a quarter more than a dime, can work out that a quarter is worth more than a nickel. Your child’s BCBA measures these skills with the PEAK assessment when they start and every month after that. Learn how RFT works.
Results: 72% of clients who stay with us at least 12 months graduate to school, and 84% of those who start at age 3 or younger. See our outcomes.
Insurance we accept: Anthem, Cigna, Optum, Kaiser, Aetna, and Georgia Medicaid. See our insurance and Medicaid guides.
Frequently Asked Questions About Autism Services in Acworth
Apollo Behavior accepts major insurance plans at our Acworth center, including Anthem, Cigna, Optum, Kaiser, Aetna, and Georgia Medicaid. Our team checks your specific benefits before services begin and explains what your plan covers, so there are no surprises.
Many families begin between ages two and five, since earlier support gives children more time to build communication, play, and social skills. Every child develops differently, and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst will assess your child’s individual needs before any program begins.
Yes. We serve Acworth and nearby communities, including Kennesaw and the wider Cobb and Cherokee County area, with scheduling built around local school and family routines.
Center-based ABA therapy at Apollo Behavior means your child works with the same clinical team every session, guided by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst who adjusts programming as your child grows.

Yes, insurance requires a formal autism diagnosis before ABA therapy can begin. If your child doesn’t have one yet, Apollo Behavior offers diagnostic evaluations in-house, so you can start that step with us. If your child was just diagnosed, our guide to what to do after an autism diagnosis in Georgia walks you through the first steps.
Many of our centers bring in speech and occupational therapy partners who see children on site, so your child can get those services in the same building as their ABA therapy. When you call, we’ll tell you what’s available at the Acworth center and help you get it set up.
Your child works one-on-one with a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) throughout the day, with their BCBA on site supervising. Sessions mix play-based learning, small-group activities with other children, and practice of everyday skills such as communication, mealtimes and transitions. Our centers are open Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm.
