The Stables Autism Program

Specialized Residential Treatment for Adults with Autism + Neurodivergence
At The Stables, we recognize that not all great minds think alike. Our program serves as a bridge to independence, empowering adults with autism spectrum disorder and neurodivergent tendencies to build the skills, confidence, and self-direction needed for long-term success. Nestled on 25 acres in the Great Smoky Mountains, our campus fosters emotional regulation, social connection, and confidence in daily routines — the building blocks of lasting independence.

Building essential life skills is central to everything we do at The Stables. 

The Social Integration Model™

Our proprietary Social Integration Model™ goes beyond symptom stabilization. Our goal is to equip clients with the social, emotional, and functional skills to sustain independence in everyday life.

Personalized Clinical Care

No two clients are alike. At The Stables, every treatment plan is built around each individual’s history, diagnosis, and goals. Personalized treatment helps drive meaningful, measurable progress.

Animal-Assisted Therapy

At The Stables, animal-assisted therapy is woven into the fabric of daily life. Through structured interactions with animals, clients develop emotional regulation, communication skills, empathy, and confidence. 

Payment Options

The Stables Autism Program is a private pay program. Medicare, Medicaid, and insurance are not accepted.

Voices from our Community

“Stables was a transformative experience for my son. He arrived there deeply depressed, anxious, with chronic OCD. He left so much calmer with new strategies for coping and being around others. He felt loved and supported at all times, and has now been able to start a job which is going well. I have recommended Stables to other parents who have tried other treatments without success.”
