PHOENIX, AZ, AZ, UNITED STATES, February 25, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD®) is expanding its presence in Arizona to meet the growing demand for high-quality autism treatment services. CARD® currently operates seven locations throughout Arizona and plans to open four additional Phoenix locations in the coming months. CARD® is accepting new patients statewide with no waitlist and anticipates hiring more than 200 entry-level and experienced employees — including behavior technicians, Board Certified Behavior Analysts, and support staff — to serve families through its expanding network of centers.

CARD® will celebrate the opening of its newest Phoenix location with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and community open house on Saturday, February 28, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at 2400 W. Dunlap Avenue, Suite 124. The ribbon cutting, held in partnership with the Greater Phoenix Chamber, will be followed by an open house where families, providers, and community members are invited to tour the new center, meet clinical staff, and learn more about CARD’s applied behavior analysis (ABA) services.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 31 children nationwide is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, with Arizona’s prevalence reflecting national trends. As demand for autism services continues to grow, CARD’s expansion is designed to increase timely access to care while strengthening the local behavioral health workforce. By investing in new centers and hiring across multiple roles, CARD® aims to reduce barriers families often face when seeking services and ensure that more children can begin treatment sooner. . . .

 “Our mission has always been to bring high-quality services to families where the need exists,” said Dr. Granpeesheh. “As demand has grown in Arizona, we’ve expanded our team and opened new locations to ensure more children can access individualized, compassionate care close to home.” . . .
