Free Training Workshops for Caregiver Support Groups & Community Organizations

The Kentucky Autism Training Center (KATC) is proud to offer free, 1 to 1.5-hour workshops designed to support caregiver groups and community partners across Kentucky. These sessions are crafted to build confidence, deepen understanding, and foster inclusive practices that affirm and empower autistic individuals and those who care for them.

Workshops are available to autism-related caregiver support groups and community-based organizations. While we’re unable to accommodate individual family requests, we welcome group inquiries and are committed to making learning accessible and meaningful.

If your group includes primarily professionals, please complete the Professional Development Request Form.

Please note: Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are not provided for community/family trainings.
