Meeting the needs of youth and adolescents with disabilities, their families, and teachers through innovative virtual technologies.
The Keiser University Multidisciplinary Center (KUMDC) is one of six regional Florida Diagnostic and Learning Resource System (FDLRS) multidisciplinary centers providing a range of services including screenings, diagnostic evaluations, assessments, and mentoring/counseling services and interventions for children and youth at risk for or who have been identified as having complex medical, educational, emotional or behavioral problems and other risk factors for poor educational/academic outcomes. KUMDC also provides consultation, technical assistance, and pre-service and in-service training for teachers, school and district personnel, families, health care professionals, university students and faculty, and community providers working with students. The center’s goals support the indicators within the Bureau of Exceptional Education and Student Services (BEESS) Strategic Plan and the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) Strategic Performance Plan to prepare students with disabilities enrolled in public K-12 programs for high academic achievement and successful postsecondary outcomes.
