Atlanta is home to one of the country's best autism centers and top dyslexia schools — the trick is knowing which are genuinely excellent and near you. This is Atlanta's own credential-vetted directory of the best evaluators, schools, therapists, and doctors, plus free and low-cost options. Then, if you want it, an expert reads your child's records and builds your plan.
