Center for Autism and Related Disabilities (CARD) - University of South Florida Tampa

You would think that an organization of this type would employ caring empathetic individuals. Sadly it does not. The parent support group couldnt be less supportive and the leader is nothing short of rude. The monthly Zoom meetings for the kids are stale dry and robotic the leader is cold and uncaring. Trying to get help or services is a farce that is not their goal. I believe the organization exists simply to get funded. Lots of talk of fund raising and how wonderful they are but nothing to back it upnot much in the way of support for the family or the autistic person. The reviews speak for themselves. If the organization was worth anything at all they would be flourishing with clients. Shameful shameful shameful.

This is not as good as other state autism centers. Took 2 months for her to email me a list of 2 providers that might or might not even take my insurance why did they even bother asking for it on the form that I already found on my own on Google maps by typing therapy tampa and picking 2 offices near my address.They should have a database of autism specialists in the area ready to go. They are supposed to have built these professional connections in the community for us.Total waste of college funding. A disservice to autistic people in the Bay area.

I can not comment on them. It saddens me to see so many one star reviews. In South Florida at least in Broward County and West Palm Beaches- CARD rocks They helped us through all the ages and stages.

They never respond. They do not ever answer their phones. I agree with another reviewer that it is a farce. They should be investigated.

Ahead if their time . Insuring the future has a chance .

All they have done for Us sent multiple emails with multiple non working links. The fact is there is no help no support in Tampa for Autistic kids entering adulthood. Please reply if Im wrong. Thanks.

Honestly probably the best most caring professionals I have met in any setting related to autism. From young kiddos to adults service across the lifespan.

I have not gotten any help

Sad... Nobody has returned my c all
