With your support, we can bring down the waitlist for more than 2,000 children waiting for a diagnostic evaluation and support more than 231,000 Missouri children who stand to benefit from the Thompson Center’s life-changing services and compassionate care.
Join us in our commitment to build a new family-centric, world-class Thompson Center, expanding their national leadership in the field of autism and neurodevelopment services, training, and research.
Your investment will provide these extraordinary life-changing initiatives and so much more.
- Expand capacity and increase the number of specialists and annual visits by more than two-fold to meet the demand for clinical services.
- Open an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), serving children ages 3-19 struggling with severe behaviors that prevent them safely attending school or residing at home. The IOP will be a first of it’s kind in Missouri, filling a large gap between outpatient and inpatient services for the entire region.
- State-of-the-art facilities that complement and accelerate diverse and evidence-based research by our renowned faculty.
Some of the features of the new space will include:
- Adaptive and inclusive playground
- Indoor Therapy gym (MAZe)
- Life skills room and training café
- Group therapy rooms
- Training and conference center
- Discovery and research center
- Easy-to-navigate entrance and drop-off area
AFFECTING 1 IN 31 CHILDREN.
Additionally, 1 in 6 children has a developmental disability or delay.
The Thompson Center for Autism & Neurodevelopment is strengthening children and families impacted by autism and neurodevelopmental diagnoses through world class programs that integrate research, clinical service delivery, education, and public policy across Missouri and beyond.
