About the Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD):

In October 2004, APD became an agency separate from the Department of Children and Families (DCF), specifically tasked with serving the needs of Floridians with developmental disabilities. APD serves Floridians with developmental disabilities as defined in Florida Statutes, Chapter 393.

This includes individuals with:

  • Autism
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Spina bifida
  • Intellectual disabilities
  • Down syndrome
  • Prader-Willi syndrome
  • Phelan McDermid syndrome
  • Children aged 3-5 who are at a high risk of a developmental disability.

APD works with local communities and private providers to support people who have developmental disabilities and their families in living, learning, and working in their communities; provides assistance in identifying the service needs of people with developmental disabilities; and educates the public on disability issues while focusing attention on employment for people with disabilities.

APD’s Agency Mission:
The Agency supports individuals with unique abilities and their families in living, learning, and working within their communities by creating multiple pathways to possibilities.

APD’s Guiding Principles:

  1. Embody and display a servant’s heart while demonstrating an ambition of constant pursuit to establish APD as a sought-after resource and navigator for Floridians with unique abilities.
  2. Enrich the experience for individuals and families through efficient and meaningful service delivery to achieve greater program effectiveness.
  3. Ensure a systematic approach towards transparency and accountability to achieve quality and operational excellence.
