Nova was founded in the early 1990s by a group of parents in Southwest Missouri who were experiencing the lack of services available for their children with autism. While there is still focus on autism and challenging behaviors, Nova’s borders have expanded to serve individuals with many diagnoses. Residential services were the first to be provided, but over the years a Day Habilitation program and Behavior Team (led by Board Certified Analysts) have developed and become an integral part of the Nova family.
