Center for Autism and Related Disorders - Santa Maria

The Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD) in Santa Maria, California, is a leading institution in the successful treatment of autism. Founded by renowned autism expert Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, CARD has been making a meaningful impact on the lives of individuals with autism for over three decades. Located at 2400 Professional Parkway, CARD offers center-based services that provide one-to-one applied behavior analysis (ABA) sessions for children, adolescents, and adults.

Early intervention is key to improving a child's development, and research has shown that high-intensity intervention for 2-4 year olds can maximize their potential for future success. The CARD Model utilizes ABA techniques and a robust SKILLS learning curriculum to target customized treatment goals for each individual, helping them achieve optimal outcomes for lifelong success and happiness.

At CARD, our goal is to equip each child with the skills they need to succeed. We offer a wide variety of resources to assist families in understanding autism spectrum disorder, including research, public policy, and media. ABA is the most effective treatment for autism, and most medical insurance covers it as a medically necessary treatment.
