Local notes
What Kirkwood families should know
Kirkwood grew up around its 1893 train station, which still serves Amtrak today, and its school district draws families from across the metro.
ZIP codes we serve in Kirkwood
63122. Nearby ZIPs too; if yours is close, call and we will confirm.
Under 3? Start with early intervention too
Early intervention for children under 3 runs through Missouri First Steps, the state's program for children under 3. It is free, it can run alongside ABA, and we can help you get both started.
School-age? Know the two evaluation paths
the Kirkwood School District (or Webster Groves School District next door) evaluates for school services through Child Find and an IEP. Insurance-covered ABA needs a medical diagnosis, which is separate. Most families do both, and we coordinate with the school with your consent.
Need a diagnosis first?
Families near Kirkwood most often get evaluated at Washington University's Autism Clinical Center on Forest Park Avenue and the Mercy Kids Autism Center in Chesterfield. Waits can be long, so call us while you wait and we will have insurance verified by the time the report is in.
Our nearest office, 111 W Port Plaza Dr 6th Floor, St. Louis, MO 63146, is about 20 minutes from Kirkwood. Your child's sessions happen at home, so you never make that drive: our team lives and works in your area.
“Golden Touch ABA has been wonderful to work with. The team is honest, professional, caring, and genuinely there to help with everything they can.”
