UM-NSU Center for Autism & Related Disabilities (CARD)

Individuals with autism and related disabilities frequently require specialized services and supports. The Center for Autism & Related Disabilities (CARD) is a network of state-funded outreach and support centers based at universities around the state.

In South Florida, the main CARD center (UM-NSU CARD) is at the University of Miami. The center at Nova Southeastern University is a satellite of UM-NSU CARD and was established in 1999 to serve the community in Broward County. UM-NSU CARD operates in three Florida counties under the supervision of a constituency board comprised of family members who help guide program policy priorities and activities. The NSU satellite office collaborates closely with the main South Florida UM-NSU CARD Center at the University of Miami.

UM-NSU CARD is a comprehensive outreach and support program serving people with autism and related disabilities, their families, and the professionals who work with them.

CARD at NSU is housed in the Department of Speech Language Pathology (SLP) in the Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences and the office is located in the SLP Clinic at 6100 Griffin Road, Davie, FL. 33314.
