Autism Schools & Special Education in Columbia

Columbia punches far above its size on autism, for one reason: the Thompson Center for Autism and Neurodevelopment at the University of Missouri is a national leader, and it is here. Health, educational, and behavioral services sit in one location with coordinated care across disciplines - an arrangement most families in cities ten times larger cannot get. Missouri also runs MOScholars, worth roughly $6,000 to $12,000 depending on the student.
