What makes you stand out amongst the competitors in the community?
At Ambitions Behavioral Health, our heartfelt commitment to serving children with autism truly sets us apart. We’re proud to be in-network with Medicaid, making our services accessible to more families. Our team consists of individuals with personal and professional experience with neurodivergent children, leading to a compassionate and dedicated approach to children’s well-being. We understand that family activities, sports, hobbies, and other therapies are vital components of a child’s life. That’s why we integrate ABA into a family’s daily routine to foster optimal growth. Our evidence-based practices and welcoming environment create a sense of community and care that families can trust.
If you were telling your friend or family member what to look for in behavioral health care for their child, what should they be looking for?
When searching for quality ABA services, look for providers who have experienced and certified staff genuinely dedicated to supporting children with autism. It’s essential to find a program that creates individualized treatment plans tailored to each child’s unique needs, while encouraging family involvement every step of the way. Lastly, seek services that use evidence-based practices and promote open, compassionate communication with families to build a supportive and collaborative environment.
Every child’s intervention is individualized to specifically address their likes and needs. Each child can count on a consistent routine that includes learning, playtime and enjoying various activities such as the trampoline, swings, ball pit, and more!
How does your team manage difficult behaviors?
Many children face challenging behaviors, and our primary focus is on prevention! We design our clinic and instruction to prevent and minimize these behaviors. If a child requires additional support, we conduct an assessment to identify the motivations for their challenging behavior, allowing us to explore alternative ways to meet those needs.
What is the ratio of staff to students/ capacity?
Since this service is funded through health insurance benefits, it depends on the child’s insurance. However, typically the ratio of children to staff ranges from 4 to 8 children for every 1 staff member. We are currently accepting new clients!
As parents ourselves, we understand how overwhelming it can be to find qualified, supportive providers who truly go the extra mile for your child and family. Ambitions Behavioral Health was founded with a vision to provide compassionate, high-quality support to our clients, their families, and our dedicated staff. We invite you to join us on this journey, where your family’s needs are our top priority!
