Center for Autism & Related Disorders - Castle Rock

The Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD®) stands as a beacon of hope and support for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), serving children, adolescents, and adults through evidence-based practices. Founded by Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, a leading expert in the field, CARD has dedicated over three decades to empowering those affected by autism to achieve independence and lead fulfilling lives. Utilizing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) techniques, the school tailors its programs to meet the unique needs of each student, emphasizing early intervention for children aged 2-4 to maximize developmental potential. The robust SKILLS learning curriculum enhances this approach by providing customized treatment goals that promote essential life skills and meaningful progress. CARD distinguishes itself through its commitment to low student-to-teacher ratios, fostering strong partnerships with families, and offering specialized resources that help demystify autism for parents and guardians. The center's comprehensive support system not only focuses on individual growth but also cultivates a nurturing community that celebrates each child's journey toward success.
