CULTIVATING
CURIOSITY

For a Lifetime of Discovery

At The Grain of Sand Academy, based in Georgia and Tennessee, we believe every child with Autism deserves support as unique and full of wonder as they are.

​

Inspired by their joy and curiosity, our approach is intentionally different.

​

We focus on helping children build mindful, self-regulating skills early—knowing how much that can shape a happier, more fulfilling life. Through therapeutic horsemanship, innovative ABA techniques, and other research-backed tools, we meet each child where they are—and grow with them.

​

It’s not just therapy. It’s connection. It’s possibility. And we’re honored to walk that journey with every family we serve.
