Breakthrough
is a not-for-profit company founded by parents of children with autism that is
changing how services are provided to adults with autism in East
Tennessee. We offer: residential services; in-home supports; a
Saturday therapeutic recreation program; day activities focusing on lifelong
education, job skill development and community integration; and also host a
social group for adults with Asperger’s Syndrome. Our largest project is the
construction of a neighborhood in South Knoxville
which will provide safe and economical housing, when finished the neighborhood
will include homes, a chapel and a recreation center.
Breakthrough is the only
organization in Tennessee
who has as its mission to, “Improve the Lives of Adults with Autism”. This clear focus enables us to provide well
trained staff, who meet the needs of those in our care. Breakthrough is
supported by individual donors, foundations and local, state, and federal
governments. We greatly appreciate those who have joined us in our work through
donations, in-kind support, sponsorship of fundraising activities or
volunteering and are always looking for opportunities to partner with others to
fulfill our mission. Let us know how you can help.
