What this is, in plain language
UCF CARD is one of Florida's regional resource centres for autism and related disabilities, giving children and adults in Central Florida individual consultative support, phone and email help, training, and a directory of local services, at no charge to registered families.
Getting started
Families register by calling the office or using the online form; CARD collects some information and sends a welcome packet, then after you return proof of diagnosis (if your child is over 8) and complete a short virtual orientation, staff schedule an initial consultation with an assigned specialist by phone or a HIPAA-protected Zoom call.
