The funds can be used for a combination of programs and approved expenses including therapists, specialists, curriculum, private school, a college savings account and more.”

📺 In the News: Nicole Clark on WESH2 🧩
Nicole was recently interviewed by WESH2 News to discuss Senate Bill 112—a major step forward for autism services in Florida.
While this new law is a win for families, Nicole emphasized that it’s just the beginning. “We need long-term, sustainable solutions that truly support these children and their families,” she shared. “Right now, so many are drowning in waitlists and red tape.”
🧠 SB112 expands access to early intervention, autism-specific schools, and research hubs—but there’s still work to do.
