What Do I Need?
It is our pleasure to work with so many wonderful, caring individuals and their families. We take pride in helping connect members of our community with available resources while providing loving, dignified care to those we serve.
We currently only offer applied behavior analysis and occupational therapy at our clinic. To receive applied behavior analysis services from our clinic, a patient/client must first have an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis from a licensed physician or licensed clinical psychologist.
To receive occupational therapy, an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis is not required. However, the individual typically must show medical necessity in order for these services to be billed to an insurance provider, and we must have an order/prescription from your medical provider for occupational therapy evaluation and treatment.
We do not presently have a physician or psychologist on-staff at our facility to provide diagnosis for autism spectrum disorder. We are not able to provide recommendations for any specific physician or provider, but have provided a general list (below) of providers in our region who may be able to assist you further. Further information on autism spectrum disorder and available resources for support may also be found on the Missouri Department of Mental Health website.

When this step is successfully completed, you will be contacted to schedule an evaluation with one of our licensed behavioral therapists.For any questions regarding insurance, billing, or payment options, please refer to our billing and insurance page.
Insurance
We are currently in-network with most major insurance companies - state funded and private companies. We also accept private pay for services.
