Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD)

Founded by Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, Ph.D., BCBA-D, CARD has been dedicated to helping individuals with autism lead healthier, more fulfilling lives through evidence-based treatment and compassionate care for over 40 years. The organization's mission is to make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals on the autism spectrum and their families. With a focus on early intervention, CARD offers a range of services, including Center-Based Services, Home-Based Services, ME-ABA Learning Readiness Program, Skills for Parents, Social Skills Group, and Teen & Adult Program. Their skilled clinicians use evidence-based ABA techniques to help individuals build communication, social, and daily living skills, supporting success at home, in school, and throughout the community. CARD has a presence in multiple states, including Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, New York, Texas, and Virginia, with plans to expand to new communities based on the needs of families. The organization is committed to putting people first, partnering together, pursuing excellence, and leading with integrity. At CARD, the team members, known as CARDians, bring heart, dedication, and joy to their work, creating a community that feels more like family.
