Lighthouse Kids Centers for Autism

Lighthouse Kids Centers for Autism is dedicated to providing compassionate, assent-based ABA therapy for children aged 2 to 12 on the autism spectrum. With a mission centered on fostering independence, dignity, and autonomy, the school employs a play-based and client-led approach that supports the development of essential daily living skills. Operating across six locations in Middle, East, and Southeastern Tennessee, Lighthouse Kids also extends its services into homes and schools within a 30-mile radius of its clinics. The unique environment encourages not only individual growth but also family involvement, creating a supportive community where children can thrive. The low student-teacher ratio ensures personalized attention tailored to each child's needs, while specialized facilities are designed to provide both safe spaces for individual reflection and areas for group interaction. This nurturing atmosphere is enhanced by engaging community events that foster connections among families and staff. Lighthouse Kids stands out as a transformative resource for families seeking effective interventions that lead to meaningful progress in their children's lives.

We provide Applied Behavioral Analysis Therapy (ABA Therapy) from licensed clinicians in a nurturing environment to Children ages 2 to 12 that are diagnosed to be on the Autism Spectrum.
