WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. (PRWEB) January 05, 2018 -- Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD) today announced the opening of eight new treatment centers, which will join its expansive network of locations across the United States. CARD is a premier leader in the field of autism treatment and specializes in using the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) to treat individuals of all ages diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ABA is the only scientifically validated treatment for ASD and is most effective when delivered early and at a high level of intensity. The new centers are located in Beverly, MA; Brown Deer, WI; El Cajon, CA; Fremont (South), CA; Northridge, CA; Rockville, MD; San Mateo, CA; and Stanton, MI. CARD provides individualized services in its centers and in the patient’s home, school, and/or work settings. CARD also offers diagnostic and assessment services and social skills groups for individuals of all ages with ASD.
“CARD has experienced unprecedented growth this past year, now with a grand total of over 180 centers across the country,” said Doreen Granpeesheh, PhD, BCBA-D, founder and executive director of CARD. “Each new center advances our goal of meeting the needs of the autism community. I am especially proud of our unparalleled reputation for top-quality treatment and our ongoing commitment to serve Medicaid beneficiaries.”
The eight new centers join over 175 others that provide services based on the CARD Model developed by Dr. Granpeesheh. Dr. Granpeesheh has dedicated more than 30 years to helping individuals with autism fulfill their potential and lead healthy, productive lives. Since its founding in 1990, CARD has helped thousands of individuals affected by autism and their families access the services and supports they need.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that one in every 68 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with ASD, with one in 42 boys and one in 189 girls diagnosed. These 2014 figures represent a 30 percent increase since 2008. As the prevalence of ASD has increased, services for individuals with ASD have not always kept pace with demand. As a result, families affected by ASD may encounter challenges when trying to access quality treatment. The increase in autism diagnoses and the lack of resources available to families in many communities leave parents struggling to access the services that are crucial to their child’s development.
CARD strives to meet the growing need for services by continuously opening new centers throughout the country to provide top-quality ABA therapy across all populations. As a result of its unprecedented growth, CARD is hiring entry-level and experienced clinicians and administrative staff at many of its locations.
