Шаблон:Short description

Шаблон:Infobox scientist Doreen Granpeesheh (Шаблон:Lang-fa, April 8, 1963) is an Iranian-American psychologist and board certified behavior analyst who works with children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.

Early life and career

Granpeesheh was born in Tehran, Iran in 1963. She earned a PhD in psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA),[1] where she worked with clinical psychologist Ole Ivar Lovaas on his 1987 study regarding applied behavior analysis.[2][3]

In 1990, Granpeesheh founded the Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD).[4] The Blackstone Group, a private equity firm, acquired CARD in 2018. Granpeesheh and the management at CARD invested in the company alongside Blackstone,[5][6] and Granpeesheh remained the CEO until December 2019, when she was replaced by Anthony Kilgore and moved into the role of executive director.[7] She resigned from the board in 2022 and retained a minority stake in the company.[8] CARD filed for bankruptcy in June 2023 and Granpeesheh offered $25 million to buy the company back from Blackstone.[9][8]

Granpeesheh is also the founder of Autism Care and Treatment Today!, a nonprofit organization which provides financial support to families unable to pay for autism treatment.[2]

In 2008, Granpeesheh produced the documentary Recovered: Journeys Through the Autism Spectrum and Back, which depicts the progress of four children throughout autism treatment.[2]

In 2014, Granpeesheh published Evidence-Based Treatment for Children with Autism: The CARD Model[10] with co-editors Jonathan Tarbox, Adel Najdowski, and Julie Kornack.

In 2016, Granpeesheh participated in Andrew Wakefield's Vaxxed, a pseudoscientific propaganda film which pushes his widely debunked theory that the MMR vaccine causes autism.[11] Granpeesheh features prominently in the film,[12] falsely claiming that autism is caused by children "not detoxifying from the vaccinations" and can be treated with detoxification.[13][14][15][16] Granpeesheh had previously worked for Wakefield at his clinic Thoughtful House.[14][17][13]

Notable awards received by Granpeesheh include the George Winokur Clinical Research Paper Award from the American Academy of Clinical Psychiatrists[18] and the Wendy F. Miller Professional of the Year Award from the Autism Society of America.[2]
