What is UM-NSU CARD?

UM-NSU CARD serves over 5,300 families
AT NO COST TO FAMILIES

UM-NSU CARD is the University of Miami and Nova Southeastern University Center for Autism & Related Disabilities. The call to UM-NSU CARD, is typically the first and most important phone call a family makes when their child is newly diagnosed.

UM-NSU CARD is FLORIDA'S FIRST CHOICE FOR AUTISM SUPPORT

The center 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, AT NO COST TO FAMILIES, to individuals with autism spectrum disorders, their families, and the professionals who serve them, for the past 16 years. Its constituency has grown from 88 families in 1993 to over 5,300 families today.

Last year 607 new families came to
UM-NSU CARD for help.

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.
