Early Intervention Services for Autism
Helping Children Build Skills During the Most Important Years of Development
What We Do
Early Intervention ABA Therapy Across Georgia
The first few years of a child’s life are a period of rapid growth and development. When developmental delays or early signs of autism are identified, early intervention services can help children build communication, social, behavioral, and daily living skills during a critical window of learning.
At Regency ABA, we provide individualized early intervention services for infants, toddlers, and young children throughout Georgia. Our goal is to help children reach their fullest potential while empowering parents with the tools and support they need to encourage progress at home and in everyday life.
Research consistently shows that children who receive support earlier often experience stronger developmental outcomes, improved communication abilities, greater independence, and enhanced readiness for school and social environments.
What Are Early Intervention Services?
Early intervention services are specialized supports designed for infants, toddlers, and young children who are experiencing developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), or other developmental concerns.
These services focus on helping children develop skills in areas such as:
Early Intervention Programs We Offer
Approved By Georgia
Babies Can’t Wait Program in Georgia
Georgia’s Babies Can’t Wait (BCW) program is the state’s early intervention system for infants and toddlers from birth through age three. The program helps identify developmental delays and provides coordinated services designed to support both children and their families.
Children may qualify for Babies Can’t Wait if they have a diagnosed condition associated with developmental delays or have a developmental delay confirmed through evaluation. Services are delivered in natural environments such as the child’s home, daycare, or community settings whenever possible.
As part of Georgia’s early intervention network, Regency ABA can help families understand the referral process, connect with appropriate resources, and coordinate services when ABA therapy is recommended.
No Minimum Age Requirement
Many parents are surprised to learn there is no minimum age requirement for developmental evaluations or early intervention referrals.
Waiting to see if a child “grows out of it” can delay access to valuable support during a critical developmental period.
What Skills Do Early Intervention Services Target?
Signs of Autism in Babies and Toddlers
Every child develops differently, and the presence of one or two signs does not automatically indicate autism. However, certain developmental differences may warrant further evaluation.

Early Intervention ABA Therapy FAQ’s
After a referral is made, the Service Coordinator (SC) begins assisting the family. The SC is the family’s main contact in BCW. The SC will help families understand their rights under the program. The SC will also contact parents to get consent to evaluate and arrange for evaluations therapies. The child will then receive an evaluation to determine if she/he is eligible for enrollment into BCW. The evaluations may be done in the child’s home, childcare center or other environments that are natural to the child. After the child receives an evaluation a team of BCW professionals (Therapists, Special Instructors, and Service Coordinators) will discuss the best services available. After this meeting, the SC will contact the family to develop an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP).
Evaluation and service coordination are at no cost to the family. Other services are based on a sliding fee scale. This scale determines a family’s ability to pay. A family deemed unable to pay for needed services will not be denied. Medicaid is billed for services as well as other insurance, with the family’s permission.
