If you are located within a 50-mile radius of a CARD site and would like to receive services, please follow the procedure listed below:

Enrollment Process:

1. Contact the nearest CARD office and provide your name, telephone number, and mailing address.
2. Information regarding CARD, our services, providers and rates will be mailed to you within one week.
3. After reviewing the information package, contact the nearest CARD office to schedule an Initial Assessment. During the Initial Assessment, a behavioral observation of the child and an interview with the parents will be conducted. The appropriateness of this type of therapy, the recommended number of hours and other information regarding biomedical treatment, testing, and adjunct therapies will be discussed.
4. Complete and return the CARD evaluation form provided at intake and send us copies of all relevant recent test results, IEP records, and reports.
5. Once we have received the information, a report will be generated. The report will summarize our findings at intake and will reiterate our recommendations for services required for your child.
6. Forward our report to the appropriate funding agency (school district, regional center, insurance company, health department).
7. Once funding has been secured (or if you decide to start on a private pay basis), your child's file will be assigned to a supervisor and you will be contacted to schedule your first clinic.
8. At your first clinic, you will meet the therapists who have been chosen to work with your child and your child's initial program will be demonstrated. Parent training will be scheduled for you and therapy will commence immediately following your initial clinic.
