New Autism Therapy Clinic Opens in St. Cloud
Caravel Autism Health has proudly announced its latest initiative in supporting young children on the autism spectrum with the opening of a new clinic located at 226 Park Avenue South, St. Cloud, Minnesota. The grand opening is commemorated with a ceremonial ribbon-cutting event scheduled for October 7, 2025. This state-of-the-art facility aims to cater specifically to the unique therapy needs of children diagnosed with autism.
The new clinic is staffed by a team of skilled professionals specializing in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy—an approach endorsed by both the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). ABA therapy is recognized for its effectiveness in helping autistic children enhance their communication and social skills using positive reinforcement techniques.
The premises have been thoughtfully designed with colorful and sensory-friendly spaces. These environments facilitate individualized one-on-one interactions between the children and their therapists, focusing on skill-building, confidence development, and connection to the community. This approach not only supports children's learning but fosters a nurturing atmosphere where they can thrive.
Caravel Autism Health recognizes the critical importance of early intervention in maximizing the developmental outcomes for children on the spectrum. The clinic's Director, Viktoriya Zorchenko, MS, BCBA, emphasized that “early intervention is key to achieving the best outcomes,” highlighting how proactive measures can create meaningful, lasting changes in the lives of both children and their families. As CDC statistics indicate that 1 in 31 children is now diagnosed with autism, the necessity for robust, community-based support systems is more pressing than ever.
In providing a comprehensive range of services—including diagnostic evaluations, therapy sessions, family support, and counseling—Caravel Autism Health remains dedicated to its mission, as explained by CEO Mike Miller. “We change lives by providing essential ABA therapy that helps children reach their full potential. Our commitment to investing in communities like St. Cloud reflects our dedication to ensuring that families have access to quality resources.”
In addition to the therapy services, the clinic actively seeks to foster a collaborative environment where families can find the support and guidance needed to navigate the complexities of autism. Caravel Autism Health has been a pioneer in this field since 2009, consistently striving to create evidence-based programs that lead to improved outcomes for children with autism.
