Attention case managers: CARD operates under a self-initiated service model, which means we follow a self-referral policy. While you are welcome to assist clients with the registration process, please do not register clients on their behalf without their full knowledge and understanding of the services provided by CARD-USF.

CARD is a state-funded organization that provides free coaching, training, guidance, and assistance to increase knowledge and make life better for individuals diagnosed on the autism spectrum across their lifespan. To register for services, please complete the form below.
