Our Expert Team in Brillion

Kylee W., MA, BCBA | Clinic Director
When Kylee began working with an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) provider, she felt a calling to serve individuals with autism and their caregivers—something she has now done since 2012. She received her bachelor’s degree in human development, with an emphasis on social work, from University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and earned her master’s degree in ABA from Ball State University. Part of the Caravel team since 2016, Kylee is currently continuing her training to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Having a member of her own family with autism, she relates to her colleagues and client families both professionally and personally and is drawn to this quote by Albert Einstein: “Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.” Kylee is dedicated to empowering individuals with autism and their families to embrace all that is autism and live a meaningful life.
Michael H., MA | Lead BCBA
Michael has extensive clinical experience working with young children, adolescents, and young adults with differing severity levels of Autism Spectrum Disorder. He received his bachelor’s degree in psychology, with an emphasis in behavior analysis, at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and graduated with his master’s degree in behavior analysis from Western New England University in 2017. While completing his graduate degree, he simultaneously worked with individuals with developmental disabilities at the New England Center for Children in Southborough, Massachusetts and obtained his board certification. Michael has experience in behavioral assessment methods, acquisition of social, daily living, and communication skills, and the development of behavior support plans to reduce challenging behaviors. He has also worked as a consultant with public schools in the Boston area, collaborating with school administration and families to best support IEP goals.
Robert W., MA, LBA | Lead BCBA
Robert has been implementing ABA strategies for individuals diagnosed with an autism spectrum disability since 2013. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) at Western Michigan University in 2010 and his master’s degree in ABA from Ball State University in 2018. Robert has held a variety of roles, from quality behavioral health professional (QBHP) and RBT to a special needs coordinator and foster care specialist. His experience in ABA includes a broad range of strategies such as skills-based treatment, the practical functional assessment, the picture exchange communication system, and many AAC device applications that add in functional communication training. Robert is interested in many subspecialties of ABA that include performance management, communication, sleep barriers, and exercise. He is passionate about using the principles of behavior to help others develop skills and behaviors to accomplish their goals and to increase their quality of life.
Paula M., MA | BCBA
Paula has been working in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) since 2017 when she joined Caravel as a behavior technician having just graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire with two bachelor's degrees in psychology and political science. Paula went on to pursue her master's degree in ABA, with certificates in Autism Spectrum Disorders and ABA, while progressing in her career from registered behavior technician to senior therapist and now as a BCBA. Paula is passionate about helping make ABA accessible to non-English speaking families. As a native Spanish speaker, she has been able to conduct family guidance meetings and trainings in Spanish as well as develop programming for clients in Spanish that parents and caregivers are able to implement with their learners outside of therapy. She is thrilled to continue this bilingual work in her role as a BCBA—expanding the positive impacts of ABA to a wider group of families and individuals.

Caravel Service Offerings

Evaluation & Diagnosis

Obtaining the proper diagnosis is the first step to helping children with autism and related developmental disabilities and their families. Our diagnostic evaluation and results become the starting point for the development of a customized treatment plan for your child if they are on the autism spectrum.

ABA Therapy

The goal of ABA therapy is to help a child develop the verbal and social skills necessary so that he or she can move from being motivated primarily by sensory and motor stimuli in the environment to being motivated primarily by verbal and social interaction with other people.

Social Skills Training

Caravel Autism Health also offers social skills training. Designed as fun, interactive experiences, we teach social skills and encourage children to interact with their peers in a class setting or small group.

Frequently Asked Questions & Blog Posts

How do I get started?

Give us a call at 920-375-5536 or complete this form.

What testing do you require initially?

Prior to beginning treatment, a diagnostic evaluation is required. Additional testing is based on individual need and is only used if the testing will help us to design a program or treatment. In general, testing is used to help diagnose disorders and determine levels of intellectual functioning, language ability or adaptive skills. Caravel provides diagnostic evaluations or if you have one from another professional source, that can usually also be used. Testing can also be helpful to chart the effectiveness of therapy.

What are the out-of-pocket expenses that a parent/guardian must pay for to get started?

An evaluation and any diagnostic testing will be billed to insurance (and/or Medicaid where permissible). Testing may be a part of the initial assessment or follow-up assessment. Please check with your insurance company. Typically, your family would be responsible for a potential deductible and/or co-pay. In some states, if you have Medicaid there would be no charge for the assessment beyond what is reimbursed by Medicaid. Any questions regarding financial responsibility may be discussed prior to an appointment with our billing staff. If testing would pose a financial hardship for the family, this should be discussed with billing. We work with parents/guardians to meet the needs of their individual case. Expenses can be spread over time.

Where does therapy treatment take place?

Therapy treatment typically takes place in a local Caravel clinic. Under limited and clinically appropriate circumstances, we recommend that some children receive therapy in a home-based setting.

What does ABA teach?

ABA therapy programs are wide-ranging and covers all areas in which your child needs to be successful. Goals are created and broken down into small steps. The steps are then organized into a logical order and taught one small step at a time. Areas may include communication, behavioral, functional and social skills.

Is there a reason so many hours are recommended?

Research shows that the greater the amount of hours, the better the outcome for children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Children with an autism characteristically do not learn naturally throughout their days like typically developing children do. Learning is a full-time job for children that typically occurs without being noticed. Children with an autism need to be taught to learn. This means many hours of practicing these skills. Parent/guardian training and involvement is also an essential part of a successful ABA program. Tools and techniques of ABA should be incorporated into daily life. The amount of ABA therapy needed will depend on a variety of factors to be determined in the diagnostic evaluation.

What are my responsibilities as a parent?

Parent/guardians are trained to do individual therapy with their child. We recommend that parent/guardians engage their child in a few hours of therapy a week to be familiar with what their child is learning. Parent/guardians are encouraged to join team meetings and training provided by clinic staff or outside professionals.

How is my child's progress evaluated?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is data-driven, so your clinical team will consistently record data and write session notes during each therapy session, documenting your child's responses using our proprietary computerized data system.

How do you coordinate with private therapists that the family employs who are not a part of your organization?

Our clinicians often work closely with other professionals because we realize that different experts can add valuable insight into treatment. If suggestions can be added to a treatment plan without crossing ethical or professional boundaries, we will bring these suggestions into therapy.
