Doreen Granpeesheh (Persian : درّین گرانپیشه , born 1962) is an Iranian-American psychologist and board certified behavior analyst who works with children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder .
Early life and career [ edit ]
Granpeesheh was born in Tehran , Iran in 1962. In 1978, she visited relatives in Los Angeles , California for the summer. After the Iranian revolution commenced, her parents decided to enroll her in a boarding school where she completed 11th and 12th grades.[1] She earned a PhD in psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA),[2] where she worked with clinical psychologist Ole Ivar Lovaas on his 1987 study regarding applied behavior analysis .[3] [4]
In 1990, Granpeesheh founded the Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD).[5] The Blackstone Group , a private equity firm, acquired CARD in 2018. Granpeesheh and the management at CARD invested in the company alongside Blackstone,[6] [7] and Granpeesheh remained the CEO until December 2019, when she was replaced by Anthony Kilgore and moved into the role of executive director.[8] She resigned from the board in 2022 and retained a minority stake in the company.[9] CARD filed for bankruptcy in June 2023 and Granpeesheh offered $25 million to buy the company back from Blackstone.[10] [9]
Granpeesheh is also the founder of Autism Care and Treatment Today!, a nonprofit organization which provides financial support to families unable to pay for autism treatment.[3]
In 2008, Granpeesheh produced the documentary Recovered: Journeys Through the Autism Spectrum and Back , which depicts the progress of four children throughout autism treatment.[3]
In 2014, Granpeesheh published Evidence-Based Treatment for Children with Autism: The CARD Model [11] with co-editors Jonathan Tarbox, Adel Najdowski, and Julie Kornack.
In 2016, Granpeesheh participated in Andrew Wakefield 's Vaxxed , a pseudoscientific propaganda film which pushes his widely debunked theory that the MMR vaccine causes autism .[12] Granpeesheh features prominently in the film,[13] falsely claiming that autism is caused by children "not detoxifying from the vaccinations" and can be treated with detoxification .[14] [15] [16] [17] Granpeesheh had previously worked for Wakefield at his clinic Thoughtful House.[15] [18] [14]
Notable awards received by Granpeesheh include the George Winokur Clinical Research Paper Award from the American Academy of Clinical Psychiatrists[19] and the Wendy F. Miller Professional of the Year Award from the Autism Society of America .[3]
