Registration OPEN for January Book Study
The Kentucky Autism Training Center (KATC) is committed to improving the quality of life for autistics in the state of Kentucky - through all stages and settings of life.
As part of our ongoing commitment to clarity, connection, and community, KATC is revamping our official University of Louisville website (www.kyautism.org). The updated site will be easier to navigate and filled with up-to-date content that reflects our mission and values.
The site you’re currently using was originally created during the COVID-19 shutdown and has grown steadily ever since. Over the past year, we haven’t had access to update the UofL site—so this supplemental website has played a vital role in helping KATC stay agile and responsive, sharing timely, evidence-based resources with families and partners across Kentucky.
While kyautism.org is now live, we’re still in the process of migrating many of the trusted tools and materials you rely on. For now, this site remains the most comprehensive and current source for resources, trainings, and upcoming events.
We’ll notify our collaborators and friends once the new UofL site is fully updated and ready to explore. If you haven’t already, we invite you to join our mailing list to stay connected.
Thank you for your patience and partnership.
Stay curious. Stay connected. 💙

Update on Our Upcoming Book Study
We’ve had a change in plans — Life on the Bridge by Kaelynn Partlow has been picked up by a major publisher! 🎉 While we’re thrilled for Kaelynn and this exciting opportunity, it means the book is temporarily unavailable.
In the meantime, due to the overwhelming positive feedback from our recent movie study, we’ve decided to offer it one more time for anyone who missed it the first round. Details on dates coming soon.
Don’t worry - we’ll return to Kaelynn’s book as soon as it’s back in circulation.
