Welcome to the Stables
The Stables Autism Program helps individuals gain self-awareness, acceptance, inner-strength, and life strategies to live a more independent life. Our evidence-based clinical therapies focus on skill-building in four primary categories:
- Goal setting
- Executive functioning skills
- Emotion regulation skills
- Social skills
Our multidisciplinary treatment team helps each person set and achieve their individual goals at their own pace.
Set in the Great Smoky Mountains, our non-institutional setting enables participants to comfortably explore the vast possibilities that an independent life can have for people on the autism spectrum.
We’re here to help you.
