Tampa Bay’s leading experts in Autism Spectrum Disorder, C.A.R.D. (Center for Autism and Related Disabilities) at USF, along with Believe It and Achieve It Therapy Services have partnered with MOSI in shaping its current exhibit path, job training, as well as learning programs and specialty events.

To make fun and learning even more open to all families in Tampa Bay, the area’s leader in hands-on science learning is teaming up with the community’s largest provider of Autism Spectrum Disorder services. The partnership between the Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI) and C.A.R.D. is leading the way in the ASTC community in diversity and acceptance.

Working under the motto “partnering toward a more autism accessible experience,” the collaboration will lead to more vital venue experience for a wider range of guests in Tampa Bay, richer and more fulfilling time together for families that include children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and guidelines for other museums and businesses that are looking to create a more inclusive experience.

“At MOSI, our core goal is to make science real for people of all ages and backgrounds. By partnering with C.A.R.D. and Believe It and Achieve It Therapy Services, we are taking that pledge further than ever before,” said former MOSI Chief Operating Officer Rob Lamke. “Creating a more autism accessible experience means a fresh look at everything in our current venue – from the layout of our hands-on exhibits all the way back to how we let our guests know what to expect before they arrive.”
