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.

This clinic is not just some place my son goes to it’s like a second home to him! Ever since Hailey took over the clinic made a 360 change and his clinical supervisor is amazing at everything she does as well we couldn’t do it without them. And I couldn’t be more thankful that my son has these wonderful people to help him and love him including terrica who has been there for awhile so she’s been around to see my sons progress and his therapist as well!

I am really appreciative of CARD and the services that they offer to my child. They are thorough, thoughtful, and accommodating to our child's needs and support family concerns as well. I have seen a great difference in behavior decline, independence encouragement, and growth in other areas. My little one has grown immensely in so many areas because of the offerings at CARD.

My son has been attending for a few years now and it has been one of the greatest blessings. Before he was able to have his therapy I felt defeated as a parent of an autistic child because I didn’t know how to give him what he needed. But working with them and having that extra guidance and help I have seen a huge improvement with my child and he loves going and he loves his BTs and they love him he glows when he comes in.

My son has been going there for about 3 weeks now and he went from being completely nonverbal to speak in over 25 to 30 words just within 3 weeks he is so excited to go there every time we go he doesn't even worry about me leaving he and he goes all day they have a ball pit and crash pad and all the different sensory things for the kids also they have a bunch of different good very good technicians that are very helpful any questions that I've had they've answered him the caregiver collaboration the meeting that we have every week is very informative and that's with bcba and clinical supervisor and also they give me as a parent they give me videos and questions to watch and so I can help learn so it can teach me how to help my own child so overall this is the best place that I've ever encountered so far and it is helping my child so much if it could have 10 Stars I put 10 Stars and sorry if you can't understand this is talk texting.

It is January 2025 and my son still attends CARD. He turned 8 at the end of October and has been patronizing this establishment since 2019. He has level 3 autism and ADHD and I could not be happier with the services and the people that perform those services. Thank you Julia, Natalie, Hira, Cassidy, Nyles, Aimee, and Aanesha for taking care of DJ as if he were your own.

I truly cannot say enough good things about CARD in Youngsville. My child currently attends therapy here and has been for a little over a year. The progress and growth that we have witnessed first hand is nothing short of AMAZING. The staff is kind, courteous, accommodating, and are always willing to go the extra mile for my daughter. If you ever find yourself in the overwhelming position of trying to decide how to move forward after the diagnosis of your child and you're unsure of the next move, take it from me, bc I've been in your shoes and I can assure you that at CARD, they will be in the BEST possible hands. I can't Advocate enough for them and I will forever sing their praises. I owe them the world for what they have done and continue to do for my daughter.
