In ABA, we often talk about the “ABCs” of data. It’s a way for us to understand what’s happening and how we can better support a child.

A – Antecedent
What happens right before a behavior? This could be a request, a transition, a sound, or something in the environment.

B – Behavior
What the child does (or doesn’t do) in response.

C – Consequence
What happens right after the behavior? Gaining attention, access to something preferred, a break, or something else.

When we look at all three pieces together, patterns start to appear. And when we understand the pattern, we can teach new skills, reduce frustration, and create more positive moments.

At Ambitions ABA it’s about understanding, growth, and helping every child succeed in ways that feel supportive and meaningful.

Meet the Team:
As part of our Meet the Team series, we want to highlight the amazing people who support our families and teams every day. Today, we’re excited to introduce Alexandra Sugar!
Alexandra is a BCBA Candidate / RBT on our North Denver team. She brings heart, dedication, and lived experience into the work she does every single day. Her compassion and commitment to advocacy shine through in the way she supports the children and families she serves. Her creativity when it comes to individualizing care for each child is truly next level! She thoughtfully tailors strategies to fit every learner’s unique strengths, interests, and goals.
👇Get to know Alexandra in her own words below:
"Upon many things compassion has been one of my greatest achievements. I am 6 years into ABA and when I’m not working you can catch me hiking or picking up an extreme amount of hobbies. One of my favorite ones is being a self-taught tattoo artist."
âť“ When asked why did you choose the field of ABA? Alexandra said " I knew in high school a part of me wanted some sort of psychology field career, I have 2 nephews that are on the spectrum one is non-verbal and one is fully verbal working on those social skills. With it being so close in my family I knew advocating for them would be one of my greatest accomplishments. So here I am 6 years deep and almost a BCBA."
We are so proud to have Alexandra on our North Denver team! Her passion for advocacy, her creativity in personalizing care, and her dedication to becoming a BCBA make a meaningful impact on the families we serve ♥.

❤️ Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day! ❤️
At Ambitions ABA, we see every day how even the smallest acts of kindness can create powerful ripple effects. A patient moment, a smile, a hug, a helping hand, or simply listening with your full heart. Kindness builds connection, trust, and understanding, and those are values we practice every day as we support families and help children grow and thrive.
Today and every day , let’s lead with compassion and spread a little extra kindness to our children, our coworkers, our neighbors, and ourselves. Whether it’s sharing a compliment, lending a hand, or taking a moment to truly listen, kindness matters. ❤️

Meet the Team: Beth Gurule, M.Ed., BCBA

As part of our Meet the Team series, we want to highlight the amazing people who support our families and teams every day.

We’re so excited to introduce one of the hearts behind Ambitions ABA Beth Gurule our Clinical Director. With years of experience, deep compassion, and an unwavering belief in the potential of every learner, she brings both clinical excellence and genuine warmth to everything she does. Her leadership is rooted in connection, curiosity, and care for our learners, families, and team alike.

👇Get to know Beth in her own words below:

"I've been in the field for going on 12 years now! Following my undergraduate degree I worked with children at a residential facility in Westminster, Colorado. Working at the facility sparked my passion and interest in supporting the neurodivergent population. From here I moved into working as an RBT with individuals between the ages of 2-22 years old. During my time in the field, I've had the unique opportunity to practice as an RBT and BCBA in various states including the West and East Coast, ultimately deciding there's no place like Colorado. My favorite part of my role is showing parents, providers, teachers, RBT's and BCBA's that anything is possible. Each one of our learners is beautifully unique, with their own set of skills, interests and personalities; I believe their uniqueness is their super power! Our learners are unbridled by societal norms and are 120% themselves through and through. The children we support, the partnerships we've created and the strong, kind, compassionate team we have built make each day feel rich with possibilities. I feel very fortunate to call Ambitions my home. "

What truly sets her apart is the way she shows up for people. She is incredibly supportive, intentionally warm, and deeply welcoming. She is always making sure no one feels left out, overlooked, or left to figure things out on their own. Whether you’re a family, provider, or team member, she leads with kindness and ensures everyone feels seen, supported, and valued. We’re so grateful to have her guiding our team! ♥

What is Pairing?
Pairing is how we begin building meaningful connections with the children we support. It starts by meeting a child where they are, following their interests, and joining in the activities they enjoy.

By staying in their spotlight, we help create trust, safety, and connection ,because learning grows best when a child feels seen, supported, and understood.

If you’re curious about how Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services can support your child or family, we’re here to help.

Meet the Team: Jessica Rist

As part of our Meet the Team series, we want to highlight the amazing people who support our families and teams every day. We’re excited to introduce Jessica Rist, whose passion, leadership, and dedication help ensure quality, consistency, and care across all of Ambitions ABA. Jessica plays a vital role behind the scenes, supporting both our staff and the families we serve.

👇Get to know Jessica in her own words below:

I live in Cape Town, South Africa, and found this incredible opportunity to work for an American company after spending 10 years as a teacher and special needs support educator for children on the spectrum. I’m deeply passionate about supporting kiddos, but I also love leading teams and helping people find their way professionally. I’m one year away from qualifying as a therapist and have already been studying for two years. I’m married, have two kitties, and come from a very close-knit family.

âť“ Why did you choose the field of ABA?
I originally wanted to be a drama teacher (another fun fact — I spent some of my early years modelling and acting in Cape Town, including dancing in a very cringey outfit in a local band’s music video!). During my training hours while I was qualifying to teach, I met a child on the spectrum who completely changed the course of my life. I hope I impacted him even a fraction of how much he impacted me. From that moment, I knew this was exactly what I was meant to do and specialized in autism support for the classroom!

♥ We are incredibly grateful to have Jessica as part of Ambitions ABA.
Her commitment to children, families, and team growth , paired with her global perspective and genuine heart makes a meaningful impact across everything we do. We’re so lucky to have her leading, supporting, and inspiring our teams.

🎗️ World Cancer Day 🎗️
Today, we pause to recognize the strength, resilience, and courage of individuals and families impacted by cancer. Many of the families we serve and many within our own community have been touched by cancer in ways both seen and unseen.
At Ambitions ABA, we believe support goes beyond services. It’s about compassion, understanding, and showing up for one another during life’s most challenging moments. Today, we honor those who are fighting, remember those we’ve lost, and stand with caregivers and loved ones who continue to support with unwavering strength.
Let today be a reminder to lead with empathy, offer kindness freely, and hold space for those who may be carrying more than we know.
