OAKVILLE, Mo., July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Caravel Autism Health, a leader in the diagnosis and treatment of young children on the autism spectrum, is hosting a ribbon-cutting on Tuesday, July 1 to celebrate the grand opening of a new, state-of-the-art autism therapy clinic. The clinic, located at 6366 Telegraph Road in Oakville, is staffed by childhood autism experts who specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy.
ABA therapy uses positive reinforcement to help children with autism improve a wide range of skills including communication and social skills. The effectiveness of ABA therapy is recognized by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The clinic features colorful, sensory-friendly spaces where children work one-on-one with therapists to build skills, develop confidence, and learn to connect with the world around them. Caravel offers a full range of services including diagnostic evaluation, therapy, family support, and counseling.
“ABA therapy helps children reach their full potential, especially when we can begin therapy early in life,” said Caravel CEO Mike Miller. “The CDC now estimates that one in 31 children is on the autism spectrum. It’s critical that we find ways to bring more resources and greater hope for families, so Caravel works to expand in communities where access to high-quality services is limited.”
The Oakville facility is Caravel’s second autism clinic in Missouri. Caravel plans to open additional centers later this year and is actively hiring. According to Lindsey Holtsman, Regional Director for Caravel in Missouri, “We’re a company that has been helping children with autism achieve better outcomes and enjoy happier lives since 2009. We’re thrilled to be expanding our team and bringing this life-changing therapy to more families in the St. Louis area.”
