Autism expert Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh gives the definitive talk about anxiety as it relates to autism. Anxiety has a great deal to do with a person's ability to cope, learn, and grow. Masking the anxiety is not always the answer. Listen as Dr. Doreen talks about successful ways to treat, and overcome the debilitating side of anxiety, so we can productively get back to learning and living. Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh has dedicated over forty years to helping individuals with autism lead healthy, productive lives.

Dr. Granpeesheh began her studies in autism as an undergraduate at UCLA earning a bachelor's degree in 1984, and a Master's degree in psychology in 1987, followed by a Ph.D. in psychology from UCLA in 1990. While completing her degrees, Dr. Granpeesheh worked with Dr. Ivar Lovaas on the groundbreaking outcome study published in 1987 which showed a recovery rate of close to 50% among the study's research participants. Dr. Granpeesheh built on Dr. Lovaas's work, developing the CARD Model, which is a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to treating autism. In 1990, Dr. Granpeesheh founded the Center for Autism and Related Disorders, also known as CARD. Under Dr. Granpeesheh's 30 years of leadership, CARD became one of the world's largest providers of ABA-based treatment for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. With over 260 locations throughout the United States and internationally, CARD employed over 6,000 highly skilled professionals, and was a leading employer of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) providing behavioral treatment to thousands of families worldwide. CARD's highly regarded behavior management and skill acquisition programs were the culmination of decades of research in the field of autism treatment. As part of the nation's third largest non-governmental organization contributing to autism research, CARD researchers published groundbreaking studies that contributed significantly to the field of autism treatment research. In 2011, Dr. Granpeesheh founded Autism Research Group, a nonprofit organization whose mission was to identify and conduct treatment research that improves the quality of life for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. To increase access to evidence-based treatment, Dr. Granpeesheh founded Skills™, an innovative web-based platform that optimizes treatment programs for individuals with autism spectrum disorder.

Dr. Granpeesheh has been a member of numerous scientific and advisory boards including the US Autism and Asperger's Association, The Autism File Journal, Autism 360-Medigenesis, the 4-A Healing Foundation and the Defeat Autism Now coalition.

This study echoed the results of Dr. Lovaas's earlier study and garnered Dr. Granpeesheh the prestigious George Winokur Clinical Research Award. In 2014, Dr. Granpeesheh co-authored the book Evidence-Based Treatment for Children with Autism, a comprehensive description of the model of treatment she developed over her 30 years of leadership at CARD.
