About APG

Providers, working together, at the Capitol

APG serves and promotes the common interests of providers who serve people on the autism spectrum in Georgia.

Who we are

A professional association built by providers, for providers

Providers, working together, are best positioned to identify problems early and advocate for solutions that serve both the profession and the patients it serves.

Autism Providers of Georgia is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit professional association. We represent our members through strategic legislative and agency advocacy, proactive engagement with payors, and work on the industry's hardest problems: workforce shortages, reimbursement rates and operational barriers.
