Carly was first introduced to the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) over a decade ago as part of her undergraduate coursework at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. She quickly joined the field as a line therapist and gained experience as a senior intern and a senior therapist. After earning her master’s degree in ABA and autism from Ball State University, she became a BCBA in 2018 and joined Caravel Autism Health as a Lead BCBA. Throughout the years, Carly has worked with hundreds of learners across the autism spectrum in both in-home and center-based environments. She has a strong passion for increasing communication skills while also reducing behaviors of concern.

For her, the most rewarding moments are when a caregiver is able to engage with their child in a meaningful way and connect more because of ABA.

What Our Families Have to Say

Caravell eau Claire was amazing for my son and my family. My son came out of there a different person in a good way. They understood Hunter and knew how to keep him happy and safe and they knew him better than anyone else. They knew what helped him and what didn’t. They helped me so much with working with school. In a perfect world I would have loved Hunter to go there forever. I love the staff so much.

— Nicole H.

Both my children have attended here for the past 2 years and I could not be happier. The staff is very engaging and my children always came home happy and excited to go back the next day. They worked together with our family to identify goals and how we wanted to work on them. Both kids (girl and boy) have made substantial progress in such a short time. Highly recommend caravel to anyone looking for a partnership in their child’s care.

My nephew goes here and we have seen such a difference from him since starting. His language skills have grown and he is now actively interacting with us more than he ever has! So happy he found this team!

Caravel Autism health Eau Claire has changed not only my son’s life, but our whole family’s as well! He is a completely different kid after only a year and a half of services. If I could give 100 stars, I would! They have been wonderful for my son and that has made all the difference. From the 1 on 1 sessions with every BT he’s had, he has loved every single one of them, they are all so caring and high energy that he loves to be with them (he even wants to name his soon to be baby sister after one of them), he can’t wait to go to ABA every day. EXCELLENT communication (we’ve had 3 different BCBA’s there) and every one of them has been super helpful and done a wonderful job with his care plan and goals keeping us in the loop with everything. Going above and beyond. They’ve made recommendations for Speech and OT, stuff to try at home, they even came to our local school to help advocate for my son and set up services he will need when he starts 4k this year! This was HUGE for me, as I struggled with our school system trying to get him evaluated. I love their parent portal where I can stay updated on every one of his sessions, so I can ask him what he did with so and so that day, what song he sang at music in motion, what he did in the gross motor room, and what board games he played! They do fun activities, have a wonderful facility, and have community helpers come visit (my son loves school buses and has talked nonstop about the school bus that came to visit). He’s just made so much progress there that he’s caught up to his peers and will be able to attend regular school. We are super grateful for everyone at Caravel!

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.
