Autism - Systems of Care Across the Lifespan

This project includes the activities that together form an umbrella organization that includes teaching, research, clinical service, and advocacy related to ASD. One key focus is systems-change at the state and local level to improve systems of care for individuals with ASD. At the clinical level, UM Autism Programs (UMAP) is an interdisciplinary collaboration that brings together world-renowned experts to provide integrated, family-centered care to those affected by autism spectrum disorders. Our aim is to make leading-edge research and clinical services available, through one-stop shopping, to all families in the south Florida community, and beyond.
