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.

❓ 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.

✨ “In a world full of stars, children with autism sparkle with their own unique light.” 🌟

At Ambitions ABA, we believe every child shines in their own extraordinary way. Through personalized care, encouragement, and support, we help that inner light grow brighter every day.

✨ Receive an ABA therapy plan as unique as your child ✨

At Ambitions ABA, we believe no two children are the same—so their therapy shouldn’t be either. Your child’s personalized ABA therapy plan is designed to support their specific needs and strengths, helping them grow with confidence every step of the way.

We focus on skills that matter most, including:
✅Personal care skills – feeding, bathing, hygiene, potty training
✅Social skills – speech, communication, and meaningful connections
✅Daily living skills – dressing, eating, sleeping, writing, using scissors
✅Parent & family training – tools to respond to challenging behaviors and reinforce positive ones at home

📍Denver families: We have no waitlist and accept most insurances. If you're ready to get started, so are we. Visit our web site at www.ambitionsaba.com

Because progress happens best when therapy is personal—and families are empowered. 💙

It’s National Hugging Day 🤗

For many autistic children, hugs can be a meaningful form of non-verbal communication. When words are hard to express, a hug can share excitement, comfort, or joy in an instant.

As social skills continue to develop, hugs can offer a clear way to show friendship, reassurance, and support—especially in moments when social cues or body language may be difficult to navigate.

At Ambitions ABA, we honor all forms of communication and support children in building connections in ways that feel natural, safe, and supportive. 💙

📍 We are proudly serving families in the Denver Area. Go to www.ambitionsaba.com to get started.
