Kentucky Autism Training Center (KATC)
The mission if the Kentucky Autism Training Center is to strengthen our state’s systems of support for persons affected by autism by bridging research to practice and by providing training and resources to families and professionals. In 1966, the KY General Assembly established the KATC to serve as a statewide resource for families and educators. KATC is housed at the University of Louisville’s College of Education and Human Development. Besides having many resources and programming for parents and professionals, families can request a copy of “Kentucky’s Family Guide to Autism Spectrum Disorders (2nd Edition)”. Additionally, to increase awareness of currently available resources, the KY Autism Training Center is gathering information about services to create a KY Autism Supports and Provider Services Directory.
