Autism Resources in Boca Raton, Florida

Boca Raton holds one of Florida's best local autism assets: FAU CARD, the Florida Atlantic University Center for Autism and Related Disabilities, based right in the city and offering free, no-waitlist support, consultation, and navigation for Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast. Around it, Boca has a dense set of ABA providers, pediatric speech and occupational therapy clinics, and diagnostic options, plus the renowned Els for Autism campus a short drive north in Jupiter. This guide walks Boca and Palm Beach County families through diagnosis, therapy, community, and how Florida's funding programs — insurance, Medicaid, and the long APD waiver waitlist — actually work.
