The Atlanta metropolitan area has a particularly strong concentration of ABA providers, with agencies serving families across Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, and Cobb counties. Georgia's Marcus Autism Center, affiliated with Emory University and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, is one of the largest autism treatment centers in the country and a leader in ABA research.
