Appleseeds Behavioral Center - A Brief Look Back

Appleseeds Behavioral Center has been delivering quality, comprehensive ABA services and early intervention programs to children with Autism and their families for more than five years. 

A leading Georgia-based autism clinic, Appleseeds continues their tradition of providing professional, compassionate care and treatment in an environment conducive to learning, comfort and results.

Background and History

Appleseeds Behavioral Center was first established in 2013, a time when most insurance coverage plans in Georgia didn’t cover Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Their initial mission was to provide children and their families access to high-quality, affordable ABA—largely because families were forced to pay for such services out of pocket.

But with the passage of Ava’s Law in 2015, everything changed. Under the new law, insurance providers were now required to cover ABA for children diagnosed with Autism—a change that led to Appleseeds eventual relocation from a 3000-sq.-ft. facility to an 8,000-sq.-ft. facility to better serve the needs of children and their families. This expansion included the addition of an Early Intervention Clinic.

Appleseeds Behavioral Center - How to Get Started with ABA Treatment

If you choose Appleseeds Behavioral Center to provide your child with Autism quality Applied Behavior Analysis services, it’s important to know how to begin the treatment process—the steps that must be completed in order to ensure everything goes as smoothly and seamlessly as possible.

When you choose Appleseeds Behavioral Center, be sure to get to know each step of the treatment process, including:

• The completion of intake paperwork, including the initial intake form, proof of diagnosis and all applicable records.
  
• The verification of benefits. The Appleseeds team will need to verify such details as current insurance, the policyholder’s full name, the child’s full name, child DOB, current address and phone number.
  
• Assessment Authorization. The step at which Appleseeds confirms Autism diagnosis.
  
• Assessment, which is performed by an assessment manager and can take up to 10 hours.
  
• Meeting with caregiver, which includes a review by the BCBA.
  
• Ongoing treatment—the actual administration of ABA services.
  
• Caregiver involvement and updated assessment (the latter is generally performed around six months into treatment).
