I am so greatful for the incredible team I get to work alongside. They know when to roll up their sleeves and get the work done, but also how to create a friendly, family-like environment that makes even the busiest days enjoyable. Its not easy to find a group that balances professionalism and genuine connection so seamlessly.

To my team: thank you for showing up every day with dedication, heart, and humor. You make work feel like more than just a job. 🩵

This Month, Let’s Reflect as a Team
Neurodiversity Month is a powerful reminder: every person, client, caregiver, or coworker, deserves to be seen, heard, and understood as they are.

As Caravel teammates, we are committed to:
✔️ Upholding dignity in every session
✔️ Listening without assumptions
✔️ Centering client choice in care plans
✔️ Learning, unlearning, and growing together

💬 This month, ask yourself: How am I showing up for neurodiverse clients and colleagues? How am I making space for difference?

Critter Chronicles: 🍝 Meet Ziti & Meatball! 🍝

These two dachshund darlings are bringing ALL the spice to the Bettendorf clinic's Clinic Director. Whether they’re riding in laundry baskets, soaking up the sun, or inspiring desk décor with their mini salt and pepper shaker twins (a gift from their fabulous BCBA).

Ziti’s the saucy sidekick, Meatball’s the mellow mood manager, and together they’re the perfect recipe for joy. ❤️🐾

We can’t get enough of this dynamic duo - 10/10 would share our spaghetti with.

🍨In honor of National Ice Cream Day, we're celebrating all the sweet moments, big and small, that our Caravel families share together. Whether it’s a sundae after a great session or a scoop on a sunny day, these joyful moments are part of every child’s journey.

From our latest Family Experience Survey, 97.6% of caregivers reported that "Caravel's therapy has improved my child's development."
That’s the kind of progress worth celebrating.🍦

💙 What’s your family’s favorite flavor?

☀️ Summer Social Tips for Parents 🧩

Sunny days = more playdates, park time, and pool parties. For children on the spectrum, these social situations bring both fun and new challenges.

🧠 Here are 3 practical tips to support smoother summer interactions:

1.💬 Practice simple scripts like “Ready, set, go!” before games begin.

2.🖼️ Use visual supports like cue cards for “My turn” / “Your turn.”

3. 🔁 Narrate transitions gently: “That was fun! Now it’s time to wash hands.”

✨ Small strategies = big confidence boosters.
Tag a fellow parent who’d appreciate these tips! 💙

💡 This month, we encourage you to:
Celebrate your child’s small wins: they’re the seeds of big growth.

Neurodiversity Month is Here!

This July, we honor the beauty of different minds. At Caravel, we know that embracing neurodiversity means recognizing the value in every unique perspective and celebrating the strength that comes from seeing the world in new ways.

💬 Let’s spread understanding:
Share a moment where someone’s different way of thinking inspired you.
Challenge yourself to listen more deeply, judge less quickly, and connect more intentionally.

🧠 Understanding is the first step toward real acceptance. Let’s take that step, together.
