Athena Care - Knoxville — Sherrill Boulevard

ABA Interventions provides individualized behavior-analytic services in Knoxville for clients from about 18 months through adulthood. The practice describes clinic, home, community, classroom-style group, and teletherapy options, with one-to-one support available within center programming. BCBAs oversee clinical work and Registered Behavior Technicians provide direct services. Programs focus on communication, independence, social participation, behavior, and practical skills, with caregiver involvement used to help progress transfer beyond sessions. The official pages reviewed do not publish named insurance carriers or confirm Medicaid participation, so the prior negative Medicaid value was not supported. Families should call 865-394-6612, email info@aba-interventions.com, or use the contact form to ask about eligibility, funding, assessment, scheduling, and current availability.

Acorn Health's Knoxville center is at 6312 Kingston Pike, Suite B, Knoxville, TN 37919, and lists center-based and in-home ABA services Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. The location describes ABA therapy and autism diagnostic services, with Board Certified Behavior Analysts using skills assessments and functional behavior assessments to shape individualized care; it also lists an early intervention program. The location page names Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, CHAMPVA, Cigna, Medicaid, Optum, Tricare, and United Healthcare. Acorn says insurance requires a doctor's referral and a formal autism diagnosis, and advertises a free consultation within 10 days of calling admissions. Families can call (865) 674-9723, email info@acornhealth.com, or use the admissions form to confirm benefits, authorization, and the local service plan.

Autism Breakthrough of Knoxville is the nonprofit arm of Breakthrough Corporation, offering long-term supports that go well beyond a single ABA clinic visit. Programs include recreation and respite, community employment and liaison services, transitional housing (Anchor), community and independent living, physical therapy, social skills groups, and technology supports such as driving simulation. Families navigating Tennessee Medicaid waivers or Employment and Community First CHOICES will find referral and funding links on the site. This organization is a fit when you need residential, vocational, or community-based disability services in East Tennessee, not only hourly early-intervention ABA. Start with the online referral form and ask which service line matches your family member's age and funding source.
