Other providers serve the Treasure Coast with both clinic-based and in-home options.

The FAU CARD Treasure Coast office (772-873-3367) can help you identify all available options.
What autism services does the St. Lucie County school district provide?
St. Lucie Public Schools runs autism programs through its Exceptional Student Education (ESE) department (772-429-4577).

High school programs are at Port St. Lucie High, St. Lucie West Centennial High, and Treasure Coast High. If your child receives ABA therapy from an outside provider, the ABA provider should coordinate with the school's IEP team.
How do I get my child evaluated for autism in Port St. Lucie?
Start with your pediatrician for a developmental screening. For a full diagnostic evaluation, contact a developmental pediatrician, pediatric neurologist, or licensed psychologist in the Treasure Coast area. The FAU CARD Treasure Coast office (772-873-3367) does not perform evaluations but will help you find qualified professionals nearby. Some ABA companies in the area also have diagnostic partners.
