Heidi Cooley-Cook graduated from The Metropolitan State College of Denver with a Bachelors degree in Psychology.  While in Colorado, Heidi worked with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  Upon returning to Kentucky, Heidi continued working with adults with disabilities.  It was at this point that Heidi began working with children with autism.  This quickly developed into a passion and led Heidi to work as an in-home behavior therapist for several families and their children with autism.  Heidi brings nearly a decade of experience working with individuals with disabilities and their families in various capacities including direct support, job coach, case manager, behavior therapist, and advocate.  At the KATC, Heidi provides direct training and technical assistance to families and other agencies.
