Community Supports
Center for Autism & Related Disabilities (CARD)
CARD is a free community-based program funded by the Florida Department of Education through an annual grant. There are seven regional CARD centers in the state of Florida covering all Florida counties. Services are delivered wherever families, professionals, schools, agencies, or businesses are located. It includes guidance to individuals diagnosed on the autism spectrum across their lifespan. Visit the state-wide CARD Regional Site Directory for their locations and contact information. Locally, CARD-USF covers these services in a 14-county region in southwest Florida. As a community-based program, we work across all settings where people live, work, learn, and play. For more information, visit the CARD-USF website.
