Athena Care - Knoxville

We provide one-to-one ABA in Knoxville for clients from 18 months through adulthood. Sessions may take place in our clinic, at home, in the community, in groups, or through teletherapy. BCBAs and behavior technicians work on communication, independence, social participation, behavior, and practical-life skills, with caregivers involved in treatment.

Our Knoxville center serves families across Knox County, including Knoxville, Farragut and Maryville. applied behavior analysis (ABA) is available at the center and in homes. The team works on communication, social interaction, behavior and daily living skills, and the center is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. A physician referral and autism diagnosis are required for ABA coverage through insurance; plan details vary by insurer.

Autism Breakthrough of Knoxville is the nonprofit arm of Breakthrough Corporation. The work is built for the long term, well beyond a single ABA clinic visit. Programs include recreation and respite, community employment and liaison services, transitional housing through Anchor, community and independent living, physical therapy, social skills groups, and technology supports such as driving simulation. Families using Tennessee Medicaid waivers or Employment and Community First CHOICES can match a service line to a family member's age and funding source. The organization fits when the need is residential, vocational, or community-based disability support in East Tennessee, not only hourly early-intervention ABA.
