Center For Autism & Related Disorders

The Center for Autism & Related Disorders (CARD) is a leading institution located at 393 Blossom Hill Road in San Jose, California. Specializing in applied behavior analysis (ABA) treatment, CARD has been making a meaningful impact on individuals with autism for over three decades. Founded by renowned autism expert Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, CARD is committed to helping individuals with autism achieve independence and lead fulfilling lives.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder characterized by social interaction challenges, communication difficulties, and restricted interests. Early intervention is key to improving a child's development, and research shows that high-intensity ABA therapy for 2-4 year olds can maximize their potential for success.

Center-Based Services at CARD provide one-to-one ABA sessions for individuals of all ages at a CARD center. Utilizing the principles of behavior analysis, the CARD Model focuses on customized treatment goals for each individual to help them make meaningful progress and achieve lifelong success and happiness.

Since 1990, CARD has been dedicated to excellence in client care, offering individualized treatment to help children with autism succeed. Their resources page includes valuable information on autism spectrum disorder, research, public policy, and more. Skills® is a comprehensive resource for implementing effective treatment, and ABA therapy is recognized as the most effective treatment for autism.

If you are interested in starting ABA services for your child, you can contact CARD at Enrollment@centerforautism.com. CARD does not provide diagnostic services, so you will need an independent evaluation to determine if ABA therapy is the right treatment for your child. Your child will receive an evaluation to identify their strengths and areas of need, and individualized treatment recommendations will be made based on this assessment.
