ABA Therapy in Knoxville, TN
BCBA-led ABA therapy for Knoxville families. StarBright Centers works with children and teens ages 2 to 17 in your home, in your child's school, and at our clinic in Maryville.
Built for Knoxville families
If you are a Knoxville family looking for ABA therapy that does not feel like an assembly line, we built StarBright Centers for you. Our team of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) serves families across West Knoxville, Bearden, Sequoyah Hills, Cedar Bluff, Farragut, South Knoxville, and the rest of Knox County.
Three ways we work with Knoxville families
In your home, anywhere across Knoxville. Our team comes to you and brings everything we need. The point is to build skills your child can use in real life, and real life happens at home.
In your child's school. We coordinate with teachers, attend IEP meetings, and share progress notes with your consent.
At our Maryville clinic. The clinic is at 235 S Old Glory Rd in Maryville, about 30 to 40 minutes from downtown Knoxville or West Knoxville by Alcoa Highway (US-129) or Pellissippi Parkway (I-140). It has plenty of parking, a sensory gym, classrooms, playrooms, and therapy rooms that were built for kids who need them.
What working with us looks like
You will have one BCBA from day one. Not a rotating roster. The person who builds your child's plan is the same person you will see at the IEP meeting and the same person you can call when day three of school does not go well.
Every plan starts with an assessment and is built around your child: communication, social skills, daily living skills, and behavior support. Parent training is part of the work, so the progress carries over at home.
Who we work with
Children and teens ages 2 to 17, with autism spectrum disorder or in active evaluation. Newly diagnosed. Switching from a previous provider. Moving from in-home to clinic, or the other way around. Preparing for a new school year, or trying to recover one that is not going well.
Insurance and cost
We accept most major plans, including TennCare MCOs and commercial insurance. Coverage for ABA varies by plan, so we verify your specific benefits on the first call and walk you through what to expect before any commitment.

Why families across Knoxville choose us
Small caseloads on purpose. Each BCBA carries a number of families they can actually know by name. That sometimes means a short wait for a start date, and we will tell you exactly where you stand.
Locally led. Our clinical director, Regina Glamore, M.S., BCBA, LBA, is in the clinic every day.
School coordination built in. If your child has an IEP or is going through evaluation, we attend the meeting, help draft accommodation requests, and stay in the loop with the teacher.
Common questions from Knoxville families
Do we have to drive to Maryville? No. Many Knoxville families choose in-home or in-school ABA, and we come to you. Families who want center-based therapy come to our Maryville clinic.
How far is the clinic from Knoxville? About 30 to 40 minutes from downtown Knoxville or West Knoxville, depending on traffic.
What ages do you work with? Children and teens ages 2 to 17.
Is there a wait to start? Sometimes. We keep caseloads small, which can mean a short wait for a start date. We will tell you exactly where you stand.
What happens on the first call? You talk one-on-one with a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. We listen, answer your questions, and explain the next steps. The call is free and there is no commitment.
