OUR CULTURE

Empowering Our People and Supporting Their Growth

At Bluegrass Center for Autism, we foster an inclusive, diverse culture where continuous growth is always encouraged. With benefits like tuition scholarships, continuing education stipends, and employee referral bonuses, we’re committed to building a team that can thrive together for the long term.

My co-workers are like a family, we don’t agree all the time but we strive for the best in our clients, and the best in each other. I can’t count on my fingers how many times I was having a bad day and 3 or 4 of my coworkers without knowing made me forget why I was mad, or unhappy. The clients are my world, I know it’s cliche but I have learned so much from them and they have made these last 7 years some of the most cherished moments of my life.”
