Assistive Technology in Georgia
Assistive technology (AT) empowers autistic children to communicate, learn, and participate more independently — from high-tech augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices and speech-generating apps to low-tech tools like visual schedules, timers, and adaptive keyboards. In Georgia, assistive technology services are available through schools (as part of an IEP), private therapy providers, and specialized AT centers. Georgia's Tools for Life program, run through the Georgia Institute of Technology, offers free AT demonstrations, device loans, and training to help families find the right fit. For communication specifically, many speech-language pathologists in Georgia are trained in AAC evaluation and can help determine which device or system will work best for your child. Insurance and Medicaid may cover certain AT devices when prescribed by a qualified professional, though the process can require documentation and persistence. When exploring assistive technology, ask about trial periods, training for both the child and family, and ongoing support as your child's needs evolve.
