Overview
Founded in 1990 by Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, Ph.D., BCBA-D, CARD has grown to more than 105 centers across 13 states, making it one of the most established ABA organizations in the country. Autism therapy is available across the DFW metro in center and home settings, with telehealth as a third option, and the proprietary CARD Model curriculum — refined over 35 years of published research — guides every individualized program. A specialized ME-ABA tier layers in medical screenings for children whose physical health (GI issues, sleep disruption, nutrition) may be affecting their therapy progress.
Families who want a large, research-backed ABA organization with flexible service formats, multilingual support in eight languages, and broad insurance coverage that includes TRICARE for military families.
Clinicians combine Discrete Trial Training and Natural Environment Training within a data-driven framework, using the Skills platform to track thousands of age-appropriate goals and adjust programs continuously. The ME-ABA option adds coordination with pediatricians, neurologists, and dietitians when underlying medical factors seem to be stalling behavioral progress.
Start with a free consultation at the online intake portal or by calling (877) 488-4747 (option 2); the team handles insurance authorization and helps families choose the setting — center, home, or telehealth — that fits their child's learning profile. Board-certified behavior technicians deliver one-to-one sessions under BCBA supervision.
