Check out ACAT, located in the Pine Crest shopping center in Morehead (near Tractor’s Supply) for all of your assistive technology and device needs. They also have a wheelchair wash!

Morehead, Hazard, and surrounding areas: Our equipment rooms are stocked and ready to serve our community! ♿️

Thanks to our amazing donors, ACAT Morehead and ACAT Hazard have a variety of adult and pediatric durable medical equipment available at no cost to individuals who need it. Donated equipment is thoroughly cleaned, inspected, and refurbished for safe use before being made available.

Both sites offer DME such as walkers, wheelchairs, bedside commodes, shower equipment, and more. ACAT also offers individual assistive technology consultations and an AT loan locker, giving individuals the opportunity to try devices and find solutions that best meet their needs.

If you or someone you know could benefit, reach out to ACAT—we’d be happy to help!

Thank you all of the caregivers of students with IEPs who completed the parent survey earlier this year! This had the highest turnout over the last three years!

We’ve received the results, and are appreciative of the feedback. We look forward to continue working with caregivers to support students!

Every Kentuckian deserves the opportunity to work a real job, in the community, earning real pay. That includes autistic Kentuckians.

Kentucky's Employment First initiative makes competitive, integrated employment the first and preferred outcome for people with disabilities. KATC supports this work by helping schools and families build strong transition supports starting early.
