ABA Therapy
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy at Marcus Autism Center uses evidence-based techniques to improve social, communication, and learning skills. Our individualized programs target specific behavioral goals through positive reinforcement. With experienced therapists and data-driven approaches, we help children with autism develop essential life skills in structured and supportive environments.
Diagnostic Assessments
Our diagnostic assessments combine clinical evaluations with advanced eye-tracking technology to identify autism spectrum disorders accurately. Multidisciplinary teams conduct comprehensive developmental screenings for early intervention. The process includes family interviews, observational assessments, and personalized feedback sessions to create tailored treatment plans.
Family Support
Family support services provide guidance, resources, and emotional assistance throughout the autism care journey. Care coordinators help navigate treatment options, connect with community resources, and offer counseling for caregivers. Our programs emphasize family education to reinforce therapeutic progress at home and in daily life.
Research Programs
Research initiatives focus on autism biomarkers, early detection methods, and innovative treatment modalities. Participation in clinical studies offers access to cutting-edge therapies and contributes to scientific advancements. Our labs collaborate with academic institutions to translate discoveries into practical applications for improved patient outcomes.
Feeding Programs
Multidisciplinary feeding programs address eating challenges common in children with autism through behavioral, medical, and nutritional interventions. Occupational and speech therapists work alongside dietitians to improve oral motor skills, expand food variety, and establish healthy eating patterns in structured therapeutic settings.

This place was amazing. Yes the wait is long and you are placed on a wait list. You also have to make sure to check your phone when they call and they leave you voicemails. I brought my oldest 2 years ago and it was a long wait but it was all taken care of correctly. Yes YOUR PCP (Childs primary doctor) HAS TO TAKE CARE OF THE REFERRAL PROCESS TO MARCUS! IF THEN YOUR CHILD IS DIAGNOSED THEN YOUR PCP STILL HAS TO DO THE REFERRAL TO SPEACH, OCCUPATIONAL AND ABA THERAPY NOT MARCUS THAT IS NOT THIER JOB.
They are there to evaluate your child and give your resources as they have done with me. The fact that it only has a 3 star rating is unbelievable. They are awesome and I will be referring more parents to them.

Staff is fairly rude and what you would expect for the area. Got stuck in Atlanta morning traffic on a rainy day and was 20 mins late on a 2hr ride there and got turned down on my appointment because I did not call in? Like I was suppose to know that ahead of time. This is a Childrens facility yet they do not seem to be children orientated. Very disappointed how this place is operated

I accompanied my client to her sons appointment and the lady at the reception was very RUDE! I did not appreciate how long it took for my client to get her sons evaluation report. I would also appreciate if they had more knowledge of different barriers the immigrants face especially the refugee community. The doctors who did the evaluation were amazing.

Getting into this program has been a long and drawn out process. After years and years of being on the "waitlist ", I found out that my daughter had been placed on a waitlist for speech therapy which doesn't make any sense. In addition, I was never informed that you needed a physician's referral to be considered for the program. This was seven years ago. So we've been waiting all this time. By chance, a doctor that we added to our child's care team happened to write a referral which got the ball rolling but that was also two years ago.
There's so many hoops to jump through. Appointments for the medical clearance makes no sense since we had to fill out medical forms for the clearance and have been cleared. I imagine this appointment is just answering more questions which can be done over the phone or via Zoom. Appointment times for the clearance are not flexible as they do not take in consideration that you may have other children getting out of school in the afternoon. So, a mid-afternoon appointment is difficult to manage. Zero flexibility. I hope the actual program is better than the process of getting in it.

When you attend prestigious schools and come out feeling like a success but all that happened was an ego and a very nice resume. Unfortunately universities can not teach how to deal with a child's fragile mind- they may give you pointers based on many many evaluation and observations and even still. physicians should never forget to pray and ask for insight (thats if they want to be set apart in their field) on each patient otherwise, it's just a checklist and that's lame. Gods blessings to the children. Mine and All the others!

All doctors say that early intervention is the best. I received a referral in February of 2019 and nothing. We continued to call and no response. I received another referral from a neurologist in Augusts of 2020 and when I called I finally talked to someone and they said I should have received a call to make an appointment months ago and should have already had my appointment. They sent me to the women who makes appointments and she never answered her phone.
I have been calling for months and she never calls back. When they say early intervention is the best and the place won't even call you back. Makes you realize they could care less about you, your family and your child.
