ST. CLOUD — Caravel Autism Health has opened a new therapy clinic in St. Cloud.

The new clinic, specializing in applied behavior analysis therapy, offers a range of services, including evaluation, diagnosis, customized treatment and family counseling.

The clinic features colorful, sensory-friendly spaces where children can work one-on-one with therapists to build and develop skills, according to a release from the organization.

The opening comes as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 1 in 31 children is on the autism spectrum as of 2025, according to the release.

“Early intervention is key to achieving the best outcomes,” Viktoriya Zorchenko, clinic director, said in the release. “It creates lasting, positive change for both children on the spectrum and their families. By opening new clinics and growing our team, we’re making it possible for more children with autism across Minnesota to develop essential skills and enjoy more fulfilling lives.”

Caravel has 63 open clinics and plans to open nine more in the future. There are 11 in Minnesota, with another to open, according to a spokesperson. There are additional locations in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Idaho and Washington.

The clinic is at 226 Park Ave. S, St. Cloud. For more information, visit caravelautism.com.
