Autism Resources in Memphis, Tennessee

Memphis anchors the Mid-South and holds West Tennessee's deepest concentration of autism services — largely because of the UTHSC Center on Developmental Disabilities (long known as the Boling Center), one of the state's two University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, and Le Bonheur Children's Hospital. Families here can access interdisciplinary diagnostic evaluations, a range of ABA and pediatric therapy providers, and a growing sensory-friendly community scene. This guide walks through what's available: diagnosis, therapy, schools, community and activities, and how funding through TennCare and insurance works.
