We are incredibly proud to partner with Erin's Hope for Friends Kentucky and are so excited to welcome them to Louisville. Together, we're expanding opportunities, building connections, and strengthening the network of support available to individuals with autism and their families across Kentucky.

When organizations come together with a shared purpose, everyone benefits. We can't wait to see the impact this partnership will have and all that we'll accomplish together.

🎓 Congratulations, Class of 2026!

Graduation marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter, and at Bluegrass Center for Autism, we know that “what’s next?” looks different for everyone.

For graduates with autism and related disabilities, our Adult Day Training program at the BCA Fern Creek Campus offers opportunities to build independence, develop life and social skills, participate in community volunteer partnerships, and discover meaningful ways to stay engaged and connected.

For graduates exploring career opportunities, BCA is also a place where passionate individuals can build rewarding careers while making a lasting difference in the lives of children and adults with autism. Whether you’re interested in behavioral health, human services, or simply helping others thrive, we’d love to connect with you.

As our community celebrates the Class of 2026, we celebrate the possibilities ahead, for those seeking support and for those seeking purpose.

It's the homestretch! Don't forget to make your mark on BCA!

Autism Awareness Month is here, and we are kicking it off with something special and very Kentucky.

Bluegrass Center for Autism partnered with Maker’s Mark on a limited “Bottled for BCA” release. When you donate $150 or more on our website during April, you will receive this special edition bottle featuring a custom BCA label as a donor thank you gift, while supplies last.

This is a fun, limited release and a really cool way to celebrate Autism Awareness Month while directly supporting autism services in Kentucky. If you know someone who would love this, share this post and help us spread the word.

We are proud to share an exciting moment for Bluegrass Center for Autism and the families we serve.

This legislative session, support for our work was included in the state budget which is a meaningful step forward for access to autism services in Kentucky.

We are incredibly grateful for the leadership and advocacy of Representative Chris Lewis - House District 29 and Senator Julie Raque Adams, who helped carry this across the finish line during a very challenging session. Their commitment to the autism community and to the families we serve does not go unnoticed and we will not forget their effort for us.

Moments like this are only possible because of strong partnerships and voices in Frankfort who understand the importance of this work. We are thankful to have champions who stand with our community and help move it forward.

Thank you, Representative Lewis and Senator Raque Adams, for your leadership, your advocacy, and your continued support of Kentucky families.

💚🧡💛🩵
