In 1999, a group of parents from the Autism Society of East Tennessee realized a cold, hard truth: once their children were old enough to no longer be supported by the systems available for youth with autistic spectrum disorders, they would enter a world without any frameworks to support living independent and productive lives.

Imagine a neighborhood with communal spaces and beautiful houses. Consider jobs that didn’t just mean money, but a chance to perform fulfilling, meaningful work. Envision creating chances for lifelong learning, be it at a college, trade school, or right across the street.

We offer: residential services, in-home supports, personal assistance, day services, a Saturday therapeutic recreation program; community based activities focusing on lifelong education, job skill development, community integration; Employment and Community First (ECF) services, and also host a social group for adults with Asperger’s Syndrome.

This is Breakthrough of Knoxville's vision.
