They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Nashville.

They treat people in Sign language as well as English, which not every place around Nashville does.

Their programs are for adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The group you sit in is usually built around the age band, which in Nashville can mean one group rather than several.
