Check out Ava's Law but it only applies to kids under the age of six. Things may have changed since we lived in GA in 2015 but back then Medicaid didn't cover ABA.

ABA is $40,000/yr in Georgia so I hope you're fairly wealthy. If not, you could get OT, ST and PT through a Katie Beckett Medicaid waiver. If none of those things help, think about moving to another state like a lot of people have done including us.

I know for Medicaid, ABA is covered 100% and most insurance covers ABA as well.
Good luck

Call your insurance company, my son has private and Medicaid for insurance. It's completely covered and he receives therapy through Easter Seals.
