UM-NSU CARD is the University of Miami and Nova Southeastern University
Center for Autism & Related Disabilities.
UM-NSU CARD is one of seven state-funded, university-based outreach and support centers in Florida dedicated to optimizing the potential of children and adults with autism, dual sensory impairment and related disabilities.
UM-NSU CARD has been providing an array of family support, outreach services, consultation and many other outstanding services, FREE of CHARGE, to individuals with autism spectrum disorders, their families, and the professionals who serve them, for the past 15 years. Its constituency has grown from 88 families in 1993 to over 4,300 families today.
Approximately 500 new families come to UM-NSU CARD for help each year.
The goal of "Tropical Nights" is to bring in additional funding that will allow
UM-NSU CARD to continue to provide these critical services to all the families of children with autism who need them, without interruption.
