💙 Assent & Compassionate-Based Care 💙
At Caravel, we don’t just teach skills.
We build therapy on a foundation of assent and compassionate care, shaped around what’s comfortable, meaningful, and empowering for your child.
🧠 What Is Assent-Based, Compassionate Care?
Assent-based care means your child’s preferences and comfort guide every session.
We focus on:
🗣️ Prioritizing active engagement – checking in before transitions or new activities
✋ Honoring autonomy – supporting choices, breaks, and personal agency
🎨 Child-friendly support – using visuals, sensory tools, and preferred routines to promote participation
Where used, 93% of sessions achieve a score of 4 or higher on our 5-point engagement scale. The engagement scale is a measure of how positively and meaningfully a child participates in therapy. A score of 4 reflects active engagement and happiness two specific measures that we track each session.
By monitoring this data, we ensure sessions are built around:
✔️ Comfort
✔️ Choice
✔️ Active engagement
💡 Why This Matters to Your Family
Children who feel safe, respected, and heard are more likely to learn and love therapy.
Compassionate care reduces stress, deepens trust, and supports lasting progress.
At Caravel, we don’t just monitor outcomes.
We build relationships.
Because compassion isn’t just a value.
It’s an evidence-based strategy for meaningful change. 💙
