Florida Diagnostic and Learning Resources System
The Florida Diagnostic and Learning Resource System (FDLRS) program program at the University of Florida College of Medicine-Jacksonville is one of five university affiliated programs in the state. The mission of this program is to support the Florida school districts of Clay, Duval, Flagler, Nassau and St. John’s counties; provide academic and cognitive evaluations to children with complex conditions and to establish a training program for students in pediatric residencies, special education, psychology and counseling programs.
FDLRS strives to achieve the goal of increased high school achievement and graduation. The program services individuals from 4 to 21 years of age, who have not yet completed high school and who have been diagnosed with complex behavioral, developmental, medical and/or learning disorders. The services are provided under a grant of both state and federal funds from the Florida DOE Bureau of Exceptional Education and Student Services (BEESS), to the UF College of Medicine-Jacksonville, and are available to eligible state residents at no cost to the families.
FDLRS provides three kinds of services to the community:
- Diagnostic: FDLRS uses a multidisciplinary diagnostic clinic approach when providing services to families within the community. Our multidisciplinary team consists of professionals from education, neurodevelopmental pediatrics, psychology, and communicative disorders.
- Instructional Support: The program provides in-service and pre-service trainings for educators, parents/caregivers and community agencies. Educational, consultative and support services which include collaboration with school personnel to facilitate school placement and provision of services are provided as needed.
- Family Support: FDLRS will provide strategies and recommendations to families based upon the needs of their children.
