Missouri is unveiling a new center-based autism therapy clinic in Weldon Spring, marking the seventh clinic to open in the state with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday.
Caravel Autism Health specializes in evaluations, diagnoses, and therapy programs for childhood autism. Their staff is trained in applied behavior analysis therapy, which offers support in various daily activities through positive reinforcement.
According to Caravel’s website, this therapy method is endorsed for its effectiveness by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC.
In a statement, Caravel CEO Mike Miller said, “ABA therapy changes lives, but families in many communities have difficulty accessing this life-changing care because of a provider shortage. High-quality therapy early in life ensures that children achieve their full potential, so we’re opening new clinics to bring more resources and greater hope for families.”
The clinic space was intentionally designed as a sensory-friendly environment for children to build confidence, improve their skills, and explore the world.
Caravel offers various services including family support, counseling, evaluations, and therapy.
This marks the company’s first clinic in Missouri, with plans to expand with more locations in the state later this year.
The clinic is situated at 1114 Wolfrum Rd. in Weldon Spring. For more information about the clinic or to access services, contact (636) 425-3437 or email caravelaustism.com.
