ABA Therapy in Joplin, Missouri

Archways ABA serves families in Joplin and across Jasper and Newton counties, including Carthage, Webb City, Carl Junction and Neosho. Most Joplin-area families start with telehealth: a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) assesses your child, writes an individualized treatment plan and coaches you through it over secure video.

In-home sessions with a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) depend on our staffing near your address, so we will tell you up front what is available before you commit to anything. There is no Archways ABA clinic in Joplin. Our only center-based clinic is in St. Peters, near St. Louis.

We work with families whose children attend Joplin Schools and other Jasper and Newton County districts, and with your permission we coordinate with your child’s school team. See all Archways ABA locations across Missouri, including our nearest neighbor page for Springfield.

Archways ABA accepts Missouri Medicaid (MO HealthNet) and most major commercial plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Humana and UnitedHealthcare. MO HealthNet covers medically necessary ABA therapy for children with an autism diagnosis, and Missouri’s autism insurance law requires many state-regulated private plans to cover it as well. Coverage usually requires a diagnosis and prior authorization. We check your benefits for free and handle the authorization paperwork with you, so Joplin families know what is covered before therapy starts.
