Why in-home, here?
Mid-Missouri has excellent diagnosticians and far fewer therapy providers. Because our teams work in homes, Columbia's families get the same staffing model as St. Louis and Kansas City, without a clinic waitlist.
And because our BCBAs carry ~10-client caseloads with weekly visits for every child, the team that starts with your child is the team that stays.

Does Golden Touch ABA serve Boone County?

Do you accept Medicaid in Boone County?
Yes. We accept Missouri Medicaid (MO HealthNet). ABA is covered fee-for-service statewide regardless of which managed-care plan your child is enrolled in (Home State Health, Healthy Blue, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, Show Me Healthy Kids), and we also work with most major commercial plans.
