World Renown Autism Expert Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh to Host a Free, Community Concert in Rye, New York
with Grammy Winning Artist “Freedom” this Sunday

World renowned autism expert Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh (gran-pee-shay) will host a free, community-wide concert at Playland Amusement Park in Rye, New York this Sunday, June 13th from 1:30pm – 4:30pm. The concert will feature Grammy Winning Artist Freedom Williams, best known for his chart-topping songs with C & C Music Factory. Comedy Central’s Tony Roberts and Dr. Granpeesheh will serve as masters of ceremony.

Dr. Granpeesheh is the founder and executive director of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders, Inc. (CARD), the world’s largest organization effectively treating children with autism. ”We want to bring awareness to autism, as well as celebrate the great strides our clients have made," says Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh. "We are thrilled that Freedom is helping us bring much needed autism awareness to the community."

One in 110 children is diagnosed with autism in America. Grammy winner Freedom says, "With numbers like that, a lot of people most likely know someone with a child with autism. I hope my role in this community event will bring more awareness to autism. I'm honored to be a part of this exciting day."

CARD New York is one of 20 clinics worldwide that the Center for Autism and Related Disorders established to provide effective Applied Behavior Analysis-based therapy and parent training. "We've had great success with our clients and have even recovered many children from autism. These children go on to attend regular school, develop friendships, and lead happy lives," said Lo Curto. "This is what we are celebrating."

The CARD New York Concert is one of 20 events held around the globe, this year, to celebrate CARD’s 20th anniversary. For more information on CARD anniversary events across the globe, visit: www.centerforautism.com/card-anniversary.
