Its free navigation anchor is FAU CARD (the Florida Atlantic University Center for Autism and Related Disabilities), which serves St. Lucie and the surrounding Treasure Coast counties. Families here also benefit from strong regional nonprofits — the ARC of the Treasure Coast and, just south in Jupiter, the Els for Autism Foundation.
