Florida Autism Center of Excellence

Mission:Ā FACE educates students with autism, to achieve their highest potential.Ā Ā Vision:Ā FACE is the school of choice for students impacted by autism, professionals dedicated to their education, and the autism community at large.

Ā The Florida Autism Center of Excellence (FACE) is a tuition-free charter school dedicated to supporting children and young adults with autism.Ā FACE is the only public school in the Tampa Bay Area specialized for students with autism from ages 3 to 22 years old. At FACE, students with autism gain the academic, behavioral, social-emotional, functional, and vocational skills for a more independent and higher quality of life.Ā FACE designs its school program based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), an evidence-based and research-supported practice for educating students with autism. Essentially, FACE allows students with autism to benefit from ABA through their free public education.Ā 
Ā FACE wants to improve the lives of people with autism to achieve their highest potential. We understand that more children are being diagnosed with autism every year, and those children are flooding ABA therapy centers across the country. Since it is not possible for everyone to access private ABA services, due to increasing demand or financial limitations, schools should accept the challenge of incorporating ABA into educational services for students with autism.Ā FACE presents a model program for how to serve students with autism using ABA principles and practices in the classroom.Ā FACE believes that our ABA-centered approach, rooted in acceptance and advocacy, will lead to improved educational options for students with autism.Ā 

South Florida Autism Center is committed to serving the entire demographic of individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) residing in South Florida with opportunities that address all their needs on one campus offering early intervention, educational, community outreach, respite, recreational, and vocational services. Programs are implemented utilizing science-based methodologies that can be replicated and serve as a model for autism intervention.
