What Our Families Have to Say

Caravel was heaven sent to our family. Getting our boys diagnosis was not easy. But they walked along side of us through this amazing journey. Both of our boys received ABA therapy here, and couldn’t be more happy with their progress. All the staff are a delight to work with. They all show so much care, dedication, patience and made true connections with my boys. When times were really challenging they were the encouraging force and voice that kept me hopeful. I truly appreciated the family guidance meetings that not only helped and equipped me to be a better parent, advocate and person for my boys but it also provided a platform for my two older children to also learn and better understand their brothers. And to me and agency that not only cares about their clients but their whole immediate family as a whole and ensures that we are all on the same page regarding the boys will always have my support. I highly recommend Caravel, they truly are changing life’s one child at a time. ❤️🙏🏽

The staff was amazing and I couldn’t be happier with all the progress my son made!!!

— Shanita R.

Caravel has been a huge blessing for my family! The staff truly cares about the well being and growth of the kiddos they work with. Both of my sons enjoyed their time at the clinic and made deep connections with their BCBAs, senior therapists, and BTs, plus the other kids! I appreciated the regular Family Guidance meetings so we could discuss any new behaviors and we could work together to game plan. The staff also did a great job at helping me learn how to help my autistic sons navigate a neurotypical world as neurodivergent kids. Our family is better off for having worked with Caravel.

— Rachel L.

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.
