Georgia Center for Autism and Developmental Pediatrics (GCADP) is a family-centered medical practice in Atlanta, Georgia, founded by Dr. Mark Moncino, a board-certified pediatrician specializing in Autism Spectrum Disorder and Developmental-Behavioral Pediatric care. The practice serves children, teens, and their families, positioning itself as a collaborative partner within each patient’s broader multidisciplinary care team.
The practice’s founding philosophy holds that each child’s combination of strengths and challenges is unique, and that all children deserve to be loved, understood, valued, and supported. GCADP operates from the principle that children “do well if they can,” and that behavioral change, while slow, is achievable through structured, incremental approaches tailored to each child’s current developmental level.
Services include developmental evaluations and behavioral pediatric assessments. Rather than operating as a single point of care, GCADP describes itself as the lead member of a coordinated team, working alongside primary care physicians, therapists, and school personnel to develop and implement individualized treatment plans. The practice’s approach centers on building on a child’s identified strengths while accommodating specific weaknesses, with incremental goal-setting toward agreed outcomes.
Care is delivered with a focus on virtual team collaboration, meaning GCADP actively coordinates communication with all providers involved in a child’s treatment, ensuring aligned strategies across medical, therapeutic, and educational settings. The practice also addresses adult patients, as indicated by a dedicated section on the website, and accepts insurance with billing services available to families.
Website sections cover services, frequently asked questions, adult patients, billing and insurance, and a blog with additional content for families. A Notice of Privacy Policy and Website Privacy Policy are also provided. Contact details, physical location, and additional information are accessible through the practice’s website.
