Also included is “MODS Comes to You” in-school programs offered by the Museum, such as STEMobile, outreach and assemblies. Details are outlined below. Please contact your administrator for additional information. • Funds must be used to directly benefit students through admission and program fees and/or transportation. • Schools will receive categorical allocations from the School Board of Broward County, as well as procedures from the Internal Accounts Instructor to deposit the funds in the

MODS, in partnership with the University of Miami and Nova Southeastern University’s Center for Autism and Related Disabilities (CARD), developed special programs and events for children and adults with autism and other sensory integration sensitivities for field trips and outreaches. MODS education staff are trained by CARD. Our programs are equipped with sensory bins, story and choice boards, visual cue cards, task analysis and a visual timeline to accommodate all needs. MODS’ sensory backpacks (include headphones, sensory toys and adaptive tools) are also available at the information desk and are appropriate for all ages.
