Gainesville's biggest asset is not a private school - it is UF CARD, which provides free consultation and technical assistance to families and to school districts across 14 counties. There is no charge, and most families in this region do not know it exists. Combine that with Florida's Family Empowerment Scholarship for Unique Abilities, which can run from roughly $10,000 to $34,000 depending on need, and Gainesville families have real leverage even without a local autism-specific school.
Free training, parent consultation, school and district technical assistance, and resource referral across 14 North Central Florida counties.
