BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine, a Caravel Autism Health Company, has announced plans to open three new therapy centers in Idaho for children who are on the autism spectrum. The centers will be led by autism health specialists with expertise in providing therapy that helps children succeed. The three new Idaho centers will be located in Boise, Meridian, and Nampa.
Imagine's specialists will work with families to design Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) treatment plans that are customized for each child's individual needs. ABA is evidence-based therapy that uses positive reinforcement to help children with autism develop skills, create connections, and gain confidence.
"ABA therapy can completely change a child's trajectory, especially if we start early," explained Dr. Charna Mintz, BCBA-D, Imagine's Vice President of Clinical Operations Pacific Northwest. "But if a child's diagnosis or treatment is delayed, it's a missed opportunity to have the greatest impact." Caravel Autism Health CEO Mike Miller wants to make sure that doesn't happen. Miller says the company is building new centers to expand access to this life-changing therapy. "One in 54 children today has autism," explained Miller. "By adding three new centers for families in the Boise-Nampa community, we will dramatically expand local availability of high-quality autism services and immediately reduce wait times for ABA therapy."
"Our new centers will feature colorful, child-friendly spaces designed to support growth and learning," said Katie Palmer, BCBA, Program Director at Imagine. East Boise is slated to open in December, with Nampa and Meridian launching in early 2021.
