Georgia's 2015 autism insurance mandate, known as Ava's Law, dramatically expanded access to ABA therapy and created a surge in provider demand across the state. Atlanta is the primary market with a dense concentration of ABA clinics and the Marcus Autism Center, one of the nation's largest autism treatment centers. The state's growing population and relatively affordable cost of living attract BCBAs from higher-cost markets.

Savannah's ABA market serves coastal Georgia and benefits from the city's growing healthcare sector. The Memorial Health autism services program is a regional resource.
Augusta's ABA market is supported by the Augusta University Medical Center and the city's proximity to Fort Eisenhower (formerly Fort Gordon), which brings Tricare-covered families.
Marietta and the broader Cobb County area offer suburban ABA opportunities within the Atlanta metro, with strong insurance coverage and family-oriented communities driving demand.
