Kaitlyn Bestul

Kaitlyn enjoys helping people find the support, resources, and opportunities they need to reach their goals. With a background in early childhood education and municipal administration, she brings strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and a passion for building community connections. At Partners in Autism, she enjoys supporting both clients and staff, helping remove barriers and creating pathways to greater independence and meaningful employment. Kaitlyn believes that everyone has strengths to build on and takes pride in helping people grow their confidence, develop new skills, and celebrate their successes along the way. 

As a teacher, Kaitlyn worked closely with young students and families to gain the supports needed for their child. She saw the lack of clear connections to services and guidance for families navigating the programs and funding available for people with autism. This experience shapes her dedication to advocacy as our Director of Life Skills and Career Development.
