The Stables Autism Program is a specialized residential program for adults on the autism spectrum. Their goal is to provide therapies that develop independence, life skills, and social integration and contribute to the overall well-being of clients. The Stables uses an evidence-based and experiential approach, offering therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and animal-assisted therapy (AAT). Family Involvement and AAT The Stables Autism Program provides individualized treatment plans, taking into account the unique needs and goals of each client. Family involvement and AAT are foundational aspects of their treatment program. They offer family systems counseling and regular family counseling to help family members understand and support their loved one. Through AAT, clients engage with both animals and nature to improve their emotional regulation and relationship-building skills. Natural Surroundings The Stables Autism Program is located in Sevierville, Tennessee on a 25-acre plot of land. The facility is set in the countryside in the Smoky Mountains, which allows clients access to nature. The retreat-like setting has many animals onsite with spaces for clients to lounge outdoors. Additionally, clients have the opportunity to bike, hike, camp, fish, and go horseback riding.
