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.

  • Expand capacity and increase the number of specialists and annual visits by more than two-fold to meet the demand for clinical services.
  • An Intensive Day Treatment Program, the first of its kind in Missouri, filling a large gap between outpatient and inpatient services for the entire state.

Some of the features of the new space will include:

  • Adaptive and inclusive playground
  • Family waiting room
  • Therapy gym

  • Life skills room and training café
