Service Name
Bluegrass Center for Autism began as a response to the need for a center designed for children on the autism spectrum in 2010 as the Academy at Saint Andrews in Louisville, Kentucky. Over the years, and as the need for our services grew, the Academy at Saint Andrew's grew beyond the basement of the Saint Andrews Church, and Bluegrass Center for Autism was born. As Bluegrass Center for Autism, we committed ourselves to providing quality intensive 1:1 treatment utilizing the principles and methodologies of Behavior Analysis while incorporating the benefits of Speech Pathology. We moved to two locations to serve two separate age groups. Kosair Charities, Inc. donates our building on Bluegrass Parkway in Jeffersontown, serving children aged two to eleven. The Metts family generously donates our space at the Mid-City Mall, serving our ages twelve to young adulthood.
