CARD

CARD services are designed to build on the capacities of state and local resources, not to duplicate or replace them. The Centers are funded by the Florida Legislature through the Florida Department of Education, and all services are provided free of charge. A constituency board comprised of family members representing persons with autism and related disabilities meets regularly with the Centers staff to provide guidance on policies, priorities and activities... In the 2021-2022 year CARD supported over 67,000 individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). In addition to the direct services provided to these individuals, CARD also provides consultative supports to their families, educators, medical professionals, social workers and other professionals, as well as local businesses and organizations that collaboratively work with the Centers on behalf of people with ASD. Our staff interacted with more than 167,000 people in 2021-2022, and our contacts continue to grow each year.....
