The University of Miami, Linda Ray Intervention Center is one of six regional Florida Diagnostic & Learning Resources System (FDLRS) Multidisciplinary Educational Services Centers.  Our center provides diagnostic evaluation, consultation, technical assistance, and pre-service and in-service training to families, teachers, school district personnel, and community support providers concerning children and youth with complex medical, emotional, or behavioral problems.   

The key elements of service include providing families, school systems, community stakeholders, and collaborative partners with service delivery, training, and informational products related to the identification, evaluation, and appropriate educational programming for early learners. The center’s goals align with the indicators within the BEESS Strategic Plan and the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) Strategic Performance Plan, aiming to prepare students with disabilities enrolled in public K-12 programs for high academic achievement and successful postsecondary outcomes.

The network of six regional FDLRS Multidisciplinary Education Services Centers across the state is part of a Florida statewide program of comprehensive services for children.

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