"Highly Recommend CBS"

"Highly Recommend Children’s Behavioral Health and Tara in Speech Therapy! My son doesn’t take to just anyone, but the trust and connection Tara built with him is truly amazing.We have seen such positive progress, and a big part of that is because of Tara’s dedication and skill. She genuinely cares about her patients and goes above and beyond.

Getting Started with CBS

If you plan to use insurance, we’ll need a doctor’s referral to begin the intake process.

Referrals may be faxed to us at 417-815-9405.

For families seeking ABA Therapy:
An autism diagnosis is required. In this case, autism diagnostic paperwork can be provided instead of a doctor’s referral.
