Center-Based Services

Your CARD® center provides a fun and welcoming atmosphere where your child can interact with a number of staff members and other patients, all while learning the lessons, behaviors, and skills they would learn at a home session but potentially at a faster rate.

Home-Based Services

Home-Based Services create powerful opportunities for individuals to practice and generalize skills across different people, places, and situations. This helps ensure that what is learned in ABA sessions becomes part of everyday life. By practicing skills in the places where they naturally occur, learners strengthen their ability to use those skills confidently and consistently.

Learning Readiness Program

CARD®’s Learning Readiness Program uses ABA therapy to help children with autism build essential pre-school skills, including communication, attention, social interaction, and following directions. Designed to support a smooth transition into classroom settings, the program promotes independence, confidence, and success in early learning environments.

Skills for Parents

S4P simplifies caregiver learning through a smart, accessible platform built around consistency and empowerment. Whether you’re just beginning with ABA or want to feel more confident applying strategies at home, this program is built to help you.

Social Skills Group

Strong social skills are foundational to success at school, at home, and in the community. Through structured guidance, children gain confidence, emotional insight, and the ability to thrive in new or challenging environments.

Teen & Adult Program

Our teen and adult program is designed for individuals 13 years and older, supporting their growth and independence. We provide customized care plans to meet the unique needs of teens and adults with a previous or current diagnosis of autism.

I worked as a Spanish interpreter here today. The staff was professional and the kids were well taken care of from what I could see. The people I worked with were honestly genuine and kind, and I was comfortable for the time I was in there. Our appointment went smoothly and there was great effort by staff to ensure that language accessibility was provided.

My son is finally thriving. My kiddo has been speech TX for over 2 years, but had a major language burst when we started ABA. The clinical team help me identify areas of improvement and triggers, and suggest action plans. The communication is really good and my baby is alot more social and vocal when we go to the park. I used to work for an aba clinic in CA, and this place is waaaaaay better. My kiddo is in clinic 8 hours a day on weekdays for now until we start preschool. The schedule is flexible within reason. In 3 months, they have only rescheduled on me one time and that was to pick my kiddo up a few minutes early, with notice(I assume for a staff meeting). It's a smaller clinic, and so far, so good!

When my son first started here he wasn’t fully using three word sentences at the age of 5. They have really taken on pushing my son to not only use three words or more but pushed him to use his ACC device also. They have given both time and patience to understanding my sons needs and his behaviors. I am truly grateful to Zach and his whole staff at CARD. They always keep me in the loop about where my son is in his therapy as well as needs he may have that are constantly changing. My son is so happy to attend therapy every day and play with his peers as well as his therapist.
