What Our Families Have to Say

My Son attended Caravel from age 4-8 yrs old. The staff and caregivers at Caravel had a huge impact on my son’s numerous milestones. They went through all the challenges with us and supported us immensely. My family will forever be grateful to Caravel for shaping our son. From the first day he started till graduation he was always happy to go to caravel because the staff treated him like family. Grateful I chose Caravel!!!

— Queen V.

I am so grateful for Caravel and all the staff that were there to help me with my son. They taught him so much and were so easy to work with. Anne was amazing, she was so helpful and always checking if anything was needed. If i could chose Caravel again i would do it.

— Evelin G.

My son and I loved the staff, the school and the people! My son (who attended for 3+ years) came such a long way and I believe they 100% set him up for success after graduating from their program :) I highly recommend! The staff and this school was a huge contributor to his success. Couldn’t be more thankful! Thank you Ms.Jordyn and every other member who worked with my son and all of his specific needs!

My son recently completed 3.5 years of ABA therapy at Caravel. It’s hard to put into words how life changing his time there was for ALL of us. From our first meeting with Stephanie (BCBA and Lead Clinician) I knew we were making the right decision. She consistently laid out an ever evolving, yet clear and concise treatment plan. The knowledge I gained, as a parent, during our regular meetings has proven to be invaluable. The work our entire family put in was/is just as important as the work my son had to put in everyday.

Another great thing about Caravel is the fact that they take Forward health and not just solely private insurance- a rarity these days. ABA therapy is all about consistency, and while Caravel is very flexible and understanding of illness or inclement weather (for example), they are prudent in stressing the importance maintaining your child’s schedule. That was something that I valued greatly. They were also so communicative and made it as easy as possible to call or text regarding absences, being late, scheduling meetings, or even just answering questions.

My son was there from the age of 2.5 – 6 years old working with Stephanie and a number of other amazing and memorable therapists like Ally, David, Anne and countless others that have impacted our lives so greatly. Nikki, the director there, also played an instrumental role. During the last year or so of therapy Stephanie even tried to model his treatment plan and surroundings so that it would somewhat mirror what school would be like. She introduced group activities and the type of structure that he would have to get used to upon starting in “mainstream” school. My son started kindergarten in the fall and he is absolutely thriving. He’s making friends and he’s the best reader in his class. I only wish they could all see how wonderful he’s doing!

It’s hard to imagine what our lives would look like had we not spent those crucial years immersing ourselves in my son’s treatment. It was easily the most valuable decision I have ever made and I’ll never be able to thank Stephanie and the rest of the staff enough. My son still asks about Steph and Caravel quite regularly and they will always have such a special place in our hearts. Thank you Stephanie! Thank you Caravel!!

We had worked with this Caravel location and it’s staff for a few years. We started when in home care was the best option for our family, and as our kiddo grew we transitioned into at center care. Our kiddo has recently graduated and we will incredibly miss this location and staff. We are so grateful for the wholesome, knowledgeable, warm hearted, patient, creative staff that worked with our kiddo. We were blessed to have BCBA Miss Jordyn V. creating and implementing the programs for our child. Her expertise, professionalism, kindness, dedication, meticulous attention to detail is what helped our child soar. Her ability to delegate to the BTs and train them showed in all the growth that happened on a daily basis with our child. I cannot recommend this Caravel location enough, their leadership with Clinic Director Miss Nicole A. and overall staff hiring approach has given us memories and support for a lifetime. We had many incredible BTs throughout the year, and Miss Brynn has been so special to our child’s development. She is a prime example of a BT/RBT. Any family would be blessed to work with her, and Miss Jordyn V; all under overall guidance of Miss Nicole A. We started our journey when Miss Nicole was our Senior on the case, she has been part of our journey for years and we are so honored to have worked with such a brilliant, motivated, kind, logical, creative, warm person as herself.

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.
