Nestled on 25 acres in the scenic Smoky Mountains of Sevierville, Tennessee, The Stables Autism Program offers specialized residential care for adults on the autism spectrum. This unique program focuses on developing independence, enhancing life skills, and promoting social integration to improve clients' overall well-being. The countryside setting creates a peaceful retreat where residents can connect with nature through activities like hiking, camping, fishing, and horseback riding. Treatment at The Stables is both evidence-based and experiential, featuring cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and their signature animal-assisted therapy. Each client receives an individualized treatment plan tailored to their specific needs and goals. The program places special emphasis on family involvement, offering family systems counseling and regular family therapy sessions to help loved ones better understand and support the client. Animal-assisted therapy forms a cornerstone of The Stables' approach, allowing clients to interact with the many animals onsite while developing emotional regulation and relationship-building skills. The natural environment, complete with outdoor lounging areas and recreational opportunities, provides a therapeutic backdrop for personal growth and development. Through this comprehensive approach, The Stables creates a supportive community where adults with autism can thrive while working toward greater independence.
