Atlanta Autism Consortium

The Atlanta Autism Consortium works to connect the Atlanta autism community at large. The Atlanta Autism Consortium, Inc.

(AAC) is a Georgia Non-Profit, tax-exempt, Corporation under Section 501 (c) (3) of the internal Revenue Code. The AAC brings the spectrum of perspectives and interests concerning autism together in a safe and constructive environment. We aim to foster better understanding and cultivate multifaceted collaborations among the wide variety of autism community stakeholders in the greater Atlanta area, including researchers, clinicians, educators, advocates, families and individuals with autism. The whole of Atlanta’s autism efforts is greater than the sum of its constituent parts, thanks to the efforts of the AAC.

We'll also cover how to vet providers effectively and why family navigation is such a powerful tool for better outcomes.

The session is led by Dr. Nikki Sammet, who brings both a PhD in Clinical Psychology and lived experience as the parent of an autistic child.

Join the Atlanta Autism Consortium on September 29th online over Zoom or in person at Marcus Autism Center for "Perspectives of Autistic People, Caregivers, and Clinicians on Improving the ABA Service Landscape."

Alongside the rapid expansion of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) agencies across the United States have been growing calls to understand and improve ABA service quality. However, there is still much to learn about what constitutes quality ABA care and the many factors that shape how ABA services are delivered. In understanding these questions, it is critical to hear the perspectives of autistic people, caregivers of autistic children, and clinicians.

This presentation will showcase lessons learned from an ongoing project focused on understanding and improving ABA care quality using an implementation science lens.

Please note: this is a hybrid event, taking place online and in-person at Marcus Autism Center. Space at Marcus Autism Center is limited. This event is free, but advanced registration is required.

Now available on our YouTube channel, check out the Atlanta Autism Consortium's recording of "A Father’s Journey with Autism: A Panel Discussion," which took place Tuesday, June 30th 2026.

This presentation included a candid and engaging conversation with fathers of autistic children as they share their unique experiences navigating diagnosis, advocacy, family life and the joys and challenges of raising a child on the autism spectrum. We were joined for this discussion by Nathan Kaspar and Brandon Gardner, Co-Founders of The Village.

Through a panel discussion format, participants heard about a variety of perspectives and lived experiences, exploring topics such as supporting their children, caring for themselves and their families, building resilience, navigating resources and finding community along the way.

Just a reminder: autism doesn’t have a “look.” It’s not something you can see on the outside, and invisible doesn't mean imaginary.

Disability doesn’t need to be visible to be real. Autism is present in all genders, ages, nationalities, cultures- everywhere!
