The event is designed for parents, practitioners, educators, and caregivers.
Attendees will learn about effective, individualized treatment programs grounded in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, that teach necessary skills and maximize skill acquisition, specifically for children with ASD.

The principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA), are empirically proven to be the most effective method for treating individuals with ASD and recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the US Surgeon General.

In 2009, CARD researchers published "Retrospective Analysis of Clinical Records in 38 Cases of Recovery from Autism" in the Annals of Clinical Psychiatry, showing that recovery from autism is possible with early, intensive intervention using ABA. CARD has been leading the way in the successful treatment of Autism since 1990 proving that recovery is possible through innovative treatments and technologies.

"Many families across the state are desperately in need of access to effective treatment solutions for their children," said Doreen Granpeesheh, PhD, BCBA-D. "We are eager to share our expertise and experience to help these individuals reach their fullest potential."

Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh has dedicated over 30 years to helping individuals with autism lead healthy, productive lives. She founded CARD in 1990 to address the demand for quality treatment providers. CARD is one of the world's largest and most effective treatment providers using the principles and procedures of ABA therapy. CARD is also the nation's third-largest non-governmental organization contributing to autism research.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in every 88 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with ASD, making it more prevalent than juvenile diabetes, pediatric cancer, and childhood AIDS combined.
