SHEBOYGAN – A new therapy clinic for young children on the autism spectrum opened in Sheboygan.
The Caravel Autism Health clinic, 905 S. Taylor Drive, offers Applied Behavior Analysis therapy through personalized plans to help kids develop verbal and social skills. It aims to help kids gain confidence to “reshape their development and embrace new ways of interacting with the world,” a news release said.
“By helping children with autism reach their full potential, we’re changing their lives and the lives of their families,” Natalee Carncross, Caravel’s Sheboygan clinic director, said in a news release. “We’re thrilled to be bringing customized, center-based ABA services to Sheboygan.”
The clinic’s ABA therapy is recognized by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“ABA therapy changes lives, but there is a shortage of specialists in many communities,” Caravel CEO Mike Miller said.
