Why Gainesville families choose Blossom
What Gainesville families can count on
-
Blossom serves Hall County families where they live.
From downtown Gainesville to the lake communities and surrounding Hall County, we send therapists to families, not the other way around. ABA that doesn't require a long drive is ABA that's easier to stick with.
-
Your child builds a relationship with one therapist.
Consistency matters in ABA therapy, and Blossom is built around it. We limit caseloads so your child works with the same person every session, and your BCBA can update the plan based on real progress, not just quarterly reviews.
-
Insurance is handled before the first hello.
Our enrollment team verifies your plan, including Georgia Medicaid, PeachCare for Kids, and CareSource, within 24 hours. You know exactly what to expect before therapy begins.

Six ways to bring Blossom into your family's life
-
In-Home ABA Therapy

Parent Training
Your BCBA works with you, not just your child. Parent training gives you the tools to support your child's goals between sessions, so progress doesn't stop when the therapist leaves.

Daycare-based ABA
We coordinate with your child's daycare team to integrate therapeutic goals into their existing daily routine, peer learning, transitions, and real-world skill generalization included.

Community-Based ABA
Skills have to work at the grocery store, the park, and the school pickup line. Community sessions practice those moments in real settings, with real unpredictability, because that's where generalization happens.

ABA therapy FAQs for Gainesville families
Before you call, here's what most families ask
Does insurance cover ABA therapy here?
Usually, yes. Georgia law requires most fully insured commercial plans to cover ABA therapy for children with an autism diagnosis, and Georgia Medicaid covers ABA under the EPSDT benefit. Our team verifies your specific plan within 24 hours so you know exactly what to expect.
Do you offer in-home therapy and clinic-based therapy?
Yes. In-home ABA is our primary service in Gainesville and Hall County. We send therapists to you, no clinic commute required. For families who prefer a clinic setting, our Peachtree Corners location serves north metro Atlanta.
What areas does Blossom cover here?

How quickly can my child get started?
Most families are in session within 2 to 4 weeks of their first call. We keep waitlists short because delays don't serve children.
Do you accept Georgia Medicaid?

Can you work with toddlers and young children?
Yes. Early intervention services are available for toddlers and young children. Earlier intervention consistently leads to better, more lasting outcomes.
