Every child has different challenges. It might be communicating what they need, tolerating sensory input, or navigating social situations at school. With ABA therapy, we break each skill down into small, manageable steps and practice until it becomes natural.

We live in Sevierville and work in the tourism industry. Other providers wanted us to drive to Knoxville twice a week. Blossom comes to us.
When we started, our daughter couldn't sit still for more than 30 seconds. Now she's completing full school days and playing with other kids. The difference is night and day.
Getting TennCare to approve services was overwhelming. Blossom's intake team took over and got everything approved within two weeks.
My husband works at Eastman and I work at Ballad Health. Weekday therapy wasn't going to work. Blossom offers Saturday sessions.
Our BCBA came to my son's IEP meeting at his school in Knox County. She explained what supports he needed and backed it up with data. The school listened.
We live outside Greeneville in Greene County. Our therapist understands what life is like out here—the long drives, the limited resources. She doesn't judge, she just helps.

terapia del autismo en Tennessee
We work with most major insurance plans serving West Tennessee families:
Tennessee's autism insurance law requires commercial plans to cover ABA therapy for children with autism. Coverage varies by plan, but most East Tennessee families pay little to nothing out of pocket.
TennCare (Tennessee Medicaid) covers ABA therapy with no annual dollar cap through age 21. TennCare managed care organizations include BlueCare, Amerigroup, and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan.
We handle all insurance verification, prior authorizations, and claims. You don't chase paperwork.
¿Son normales los comportamientos de estimulación en los niños pequeños?
Sí, muchos niños participan en acciones de autoestimulación—frecuentemente llamadas comportamientos de estimulación—como golpear, rebotar o agitar las manos. Para los niños en el espectro, la estimulación puede ser más frecuente e incluir el aleteo de manos, girar objetos o repetir sonidos. Si bien la estimulación en sí no es perjudicial, puede ser una pista útil al observar los primeros signos de autismo en bebés o niños pequeños.
