About Us

The University of Florida Multidisciplinary Diagnostic and Training Program (UF MDTP) was established in 1983 through a grant through the Florida Department of Education, Bureau of Exceptional Education and Student Services (BEESS). It is part of a network of six state-funded, regional FDLRS Multidisciplinary Educational Services Centers in Florida that provide a range of services including diagnostic evaluation and consultation services for children and youth identified as having complex medical, educational, emotional, and/or behavioral problems. UF MDTP also provides consultations, technical assistance, and pre-service and in-service training for parents, teachers, other school and district personnel, and related providers and professionals.

The FDLRS MDC project is funded entirely by the State of Florida through an award totaling $1,450,000.00. This funding is provided by the Florida Department of Education to support initiatives that enhance services for students with disabilities and their families.

The network of six regional Florida Diagnostic & Learning Resources System (FDLRS) Multidisciplinary Education Services Centers across the state are part of a Florida statewide program of comprehensive services for children. The Florida Diagnostic and Learning Resources System (FDLRS) also includes 19 Associate Centers that directly serve school districts in the areas of:

• Child Find
• Human Resource Development (HRD)
• Parent Services, and
• Technology

Additional statewide and regional services support the use of assistive technology, instructional technology, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and AIM/NIMAS Florida services, as well as statewide HRD and FDLRS Administration.
