ABA Therapy

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the gold standard in autism care. At Caravel, therapy is individualized, assent-based, and engaging. We focus on building communication, social, and daily living skills, while adapting goals as your child grows.

Taylor has been working in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) since 2015. She graduated from University of Kansas in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree in exercise science and immediately started her career as a behavior technician. Quickly falling in love with the field, Taylor decided to pursue her master’s degree in psychology with an emphasis in ABA at Capella University while simultaneously working as a lead therapist. Upon finishing her master’s degree, she became a BCBA at Caravel. Taylor adores children and enjoys watching their minds work in their own unique and intricate ways. She loves her job, her work, and helping all the children and families Caravel serves.

Kasey has been working with children with autism and other related disorders since 2011. She earned her bachelor’s degree in communication, science, and disorders from University of Minnesota Duluth in 2014 and received her master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis from Arizona State University in 2018. Kasey’s personal passion is unlocking each client’s fullest potential through individualized and adaptive programming that best fits their life and their needs. She understands that while there are many moving parts in ABA therapy, once those parts are aligned just right, the increase in a child’s quality of life is amazing.

Stephanie has been working in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) since 2014. She earned her bachelor of science in 2012, completed her masters of social work in 2014, and passed her certification to become a BCaBA in 2021 and then a BCBA in 2025. Stephanie found her calling early; her sister has Down syndrome, and she always enjoyed learning about the different therapies she participated in and how to best help. She has worked as a respite care provider in a group home setting for adults with disabilities but has focused her career on early intervention for children ages 3–16 in both home and clinic setting. Stephanie particularly enjoys working on expanding children’s interests—teaching them how to play with new toys and showing them different ways of playing with those toys. She loves helping children find different ways to communicate their wants and needs so that they can become their own advocates.

When we found out, our daughter was diagnosed with autism the waves of emotions was crazy and still to this day, but if it wasn’t for this team she has I don’t know what we would do . Thank you guys ❤️

The team at Caravel Autism Health in Anoka has reshaped our lives in ways that feel almost impossible to sum up. They are simply amazing. As parents of two neurodivergent sons, we’ve come to rely on Caravel’s approach, which combines the rigor of scientifically grounded ABA therapy with genuine empathy.

For our oldest son, Caravel created a path that enabled him to transition to full-time participation at a public school. The best part of this milestone is that he’s not simply attending public school—he’s making friendships and succeeding. This is possible because of the progress he made through Caravel.

Our younger son is beginning his own journey at Caravel, and the strides he’s making are visible, measurable, and meaningful. Both of our sons are developing independence and self-regulation skills. They are now able to communicate their needs and have a larger emotional toolbox for coping with dysregulation and sensory overload.

The data-driven approach and tangible progress speak for themselves, but what really stands out is the way the staff genuinely care—truly care—for the kids they work with. I will never forget the graduation ceremony they held for our oldest son and how he beamed with pride as he walked out their doors that day. He looked like he had conquered Everest. There were plenty of tears on the way home, especially from Suzy and me, but they were tears of joy.

Caravel has given our family a roadmap out of that overwhelmed state that so many parents in our shoes know too well. Suzy and I receive regular parent training from the staff at Caravel, who keep us in the loop on our kids’ progress and listen intently to our needs.

Caravel Autism Health is a beacon of hope and empowerment for our entire family. We recommend them enthusiastically to anyone seeking ABA therapy.

How do you write a review for people who became your family and loved your daughter like one of their own, kept her safe and happy, and unlocked so many tools that she had and just wasn’t sure how to use?

Having a child diagnosed with Level 3 ASD is a confusing, emotional time. The staff at Caravel supported us and became family in the 2 years our daughter was there. Every morning she was greeted with a smile and excitement. When you’re raising a special needs child, you need a village, and Caravel will support you through it all. I wish I had the words for how much they have changed our lives.

When we started, our daughter eloped, she would stay up all night long, she was nonverbal, and we didn’t know how to help her if something was wrong. She is now in kindergarten (where Caravel helped us through the enrollment process and accompanied us to IEP meetings), talking about her friends, staying close to us outside without running away, she can tell us when something hurts or is upsetting her, and they taught her what to do in the event of an emergency.

It takes very special people to do what they do, and they’re the absolute best. Thank you so much for everything you have done for our family, Caravel!

Frequently Asked Questions

Prior to beginning treatment, a diagnostic evaluation is required. Additional testing is based on individual need and is only used if the testing will help us to design a program or treatment. In general, testing is used to help diagnose disorders and determine levels of intellectual functioning, language ability or adaptive skills. Caravel provides diagnostic evaluations or if you have one from another professional source, that can usually also be used. Testing can also be helpful to chart the effectiveness of therapy.

An evaluation and any diagnostic testing will be billed to insurance (and/or Medicaid where permissible). Testing may be a part of the initial assessment or follow-up assessment. Please check with your insurance company. Typically, your family would be responsible for a potential deductible and/or co-pay. In some states, if you have Medicaid there would be no charge for the assessment beyond what is reimbursed by Medicaid. Any questions regarding financial responsibility may be discussed prior to an appointment with our billing staff. If testing would pose a financial hardship for the family, this should be discussed with billing. We work with parents/guardians to meet the needs of their individual case. Expenses can be spread over time.

Therapy treatment typically takes place in a local Caravel clinic. Under limited and clinically appropriate circumstances, we recommend that some children receive therapy in a home-based setting.

ABA therapy programs are wide-ranging and covers all areas in which your child needs to be successful. Goals are created and broken down into small steps. The steps are then organized into a logical order and taught one small step at a time. Areas may include communication, behavioral, functional and social skills.

Research shows that the greater the amount of hours, the better the outcome for children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Children with an autism characteristically do not learn naturally throughout their days like typically developing children do. Learning is a full-time job for children that typically occurs without being noticed. Children with an autism need to be taught to learn. This means many hours of practicing these skills. Parent/guardian training and involvement is also an essential part of a successful ABA program. Tools and techniques of ABA should be incorporated into daily life. The amount of ABA therapy needed will depend on a variety of factors to be determined in the diagnostic evaluation.

Parent/guardians are trained to do individual therapy with their child. We recommend that parent/guardians engage their child in a few hours of therapy a week to be familiar with what their child is learning. Parent/guardians are encouraged to join team meetings and training provided by clinic staff or outside professionals.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is data-driven, so your clinical team will consistently record data and write session notes during each therapy session, documenting your child’s responses using our proprietary computerized data system.

Our clinicians often work closely with other professionals because we realize that different experts can add valuable insight into treatment. If suggestions can be added to a treatment plan without crossing ethical or professional boundaries, we will bring these suggestions into therapy.
