Шаблон:Infobox companyThe Center for Autism and Related Disorders, Inc. (CARD) is an organization that provides a range of services based on applied behavior analysis (ABA) for children and adults on the autism spectrum.

CARD was founded in 1990 by Doreen Granpeesheh. The Blackstone Group, a private equity firm, acquired CARD in 2018. Granpeesheh and the management at CARD invested in the company alongside Blackstone,[1][2] and Granpeesheh remained the CEO until December 2019, when she was replaced by Anthony Kilgore and moved into the role of executive director.[3] In February 2022, Kilgore resigned for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Jennifer Webster.[4] On June 12, 2023, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.[5] The following month, an agreement was reached to sell the company back to a consortium headed by Granpeesheh for $48.5m.[6]

Documentary

CARD produced and distributed Recovered: Journeys Through the Autism Spectrum and Back, a 2008 documentary about four children which claims each completely recovered from the autism spectrum as a result of CARD treatment. The film was directed and edited by Michele Jaquis in collaboration with Granpeesheh and won the Best Documentary award at the 2008 Director's Chair Film Festival.[7]
