CARD provides ABA (applied behavior analysis) to families in Henderson and surrounding areas. At CARD, we truly believe that recovery is possible and we develop our programs with that in mind.
History
Established in 1990.
The Center for Autism & Related Disorders was established in 1990 by Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh.
Dr. Doreen studied autism treatment for 12 years under the direction of renowned autism treatment scientist Dr. Ivar Lovaas at the University of California, Los Angeles. Dr. Lovaas discovered that intensive early intervention using applied behavior analysis treatment yielded a 47 percent recovery rate among children with autism who participated in his study.
Building off these findings, Dr. Doreen and her associates authored a treatment curriculum for children diagnosed with autism now known as the CARD Treatment Approach and opened the first CARD office in Los Angeles, California, in 1990. Dr. Doreen continued to train hundreds of therapists and supervisors on this methodology and has successfully treated and recovered tens of thousands of children.
