Kansas City, MO – September 13, 2026 -- Caravel Autism Health opened a new autism therapy clinic at 11140 Locust Street in Kansas City on September 10, marking the company's expanded footprint in the Kansas City South area.
The clinic specializes in Applied Behavior Analysis therapy for young children
Staffed by childhood autism experts, the clinic offers diagnostic evaluation, ABA therapy, and family support and counseling. ABA therapy uses positive reinforcement to help children build communication and social interaction skills, an approach recognized by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Sensory-friendly spaces support one-on-one therapy sessions
The facility includes colorful, sensory-friendly rooms where children work individually with therapists to build confidence and develop essential skills. Caravel CEO Mike Miller said the company's mission is to change lives by investing in communities like Kansas City to bring families access to customized therapy.
One in 31 children is on the autism spectrum, per CDC data
Caravel's Kansas City Clinic Director, Megan Belew, M.Ed., BCBA, LBA, said early intervention during developmental years delivers the greatest impact for children with autism. She noted the new clinic will allow more local families to access diagnostic and therapeutic services close to home.
