BETTENDORF, Iowa, June 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Caravel Autism Health, a leader
in the diagnosis and treatment of young children on the autism
spectrum, is hosting a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, June 25 to celebrate the grand opening
of a new, state-of-the-art autism therapy clinic for families in
the Quad Cities. Caravel's team of childhood autism specialists has
been improving outcomes for children with autism since 2009.
The new clinic, located at 4505 Utica Ridge Road in Bettendorf, offers a comprehensive range of
services including diagnosis, customized Applied Behavior Analysis
(ABA) therapy, and family support and counseling. ABA uses positive
reinforcement to help young children build communication and social
skills. ABA is recognized as the most effective treatment for
children with autism by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. One in 36 children is
on the autism spectrum.
"Too many families lack access to high-quality autism services,"
explained Caravel CEO Mike Miller.
"We've made a commitment to investing in new clinics and bringing
expert providers into places where families have struggled to find
care. ABA therapy changes lives by helping children who are on the
spectrum achieve the best possible outcomes. We're excited to be
opening the doors to another clinic for families in the Quad
Cities."
"Early diagnosis and therapy is key," explained Kristin Lubbers, BCBA, LBA. Lubbers is Caravel's
clinic director and a lifelong Bettendorf resident. "When we're able to begin
ABA therapy at a young age, we give that child the greatest
opportunity to reach his or her full potential." The Bettendorf location is the seventh clinic that
Caravel has created in Iowa since
2021.
Lubbers and her team at Caravel's Bettendorf clinic are currently enrolling new
clients for evaluation and treatment. For information or to
