LOS ANGELES, CA, January 26, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD), the world's largest autism treatment center that provides state-of-the-art therapy, announces the open house of its all new CARD Assessment Center. The open house will be held on Wednesday, February 23, 2011, from 5pm-7pm at the CARD headquarters, located at 19019 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 100 in Tarzana, California.

Media, parents and practitioners are invited to attend the event and meet with guest speakers: Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh (CARD Founder and Executive Director / Clinical Psychologist), Dr. Bob Sears (Pediatrician / Author of The Autism Book), Dr. Evelin Garcia (CARD Assessment Center Director), and Joe Mohs (recovered from autism / author of JoesLivingProof.com).

"This open house will provide a comfortable setting for parents and practitioners alike to learn more about developmental assessments and to erase any fear or doubt they may have with clear facts," says Dr. Evelin Garcia, CARD assessment director.

The CARD Assessment Center provides developmental assessments and consultations for children, adolescents and young adults. Developmental evaluations provide useful diagnostic and prognostic information in a wide variety of suspected and confirmed neurological and psychiatric disorders that can then be used to develop tailored treatment programs if necessary. Through the use of standardized tests and procedures, developmental assessments are used to evaluate many areas of functioning. They can test intelligence (e.g., IQ) and achievement, but also areas of functioning that impact performance in school, relationships with family and friends, and behaviors in the home and community.

Attendees should submit an RSVP to Aenid Reyes, a.reyes@centerforautism.com or call (818) 345-2345 ext. 285.
