Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD)

ABA therapy (center, home and early intervention)

Ages 1+

One-to-one applied behavior analysis for children and teens with autism, delivered by board-certified behavior technicians under Board Certified Behavior Analysts using the CARD curriculum. Sessions take place at the center, where children can be matched by age and functioning for peer play, or in natural settings such as home, school, playgrounds and stores. Early intervention programs (for ages 18 months to 4 years) combine naturalistic and structured ABA with a strong emphasis on learning through play, targeting communication, social engagement, learning readiness and reducing challenging behavior. Also offered are a Learning Readiness Program for preschool skills, a social skills group, and caregiver training. The site states there is no waitlist for ABA services. Funding includes most major insurance plans and Lanterman Regional Center, where the provider is vendored. Center hours are Monday to Friday, 8 am to 7 pm, with weekend hours varying.
