About Beyond Behavior Ames
Beyond Behavior is an Iowa-based organization that delivers Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and speech therapy. Operating within the Pathway Healthcare network, the center emphasizes individualized treatment while also drawing on the resources of a larger behavioral health system. Services are provided by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and licensed speech-language pathologists, who are trained to create a secure, encouraging setting.
Beyond Behavior offers ABA therapy for individuals with autism beginning at diagnosis through age 21, focusing on communication skills, social growth, and strategies for behavior support. Their speech therapy program serves children from 18 months to 16 years, addressing speech, language, and social communication goals. Clinics throughout Iowa, including in Ames, Cedar Rapids, Dubuque, and other communities, help ensure families statewide can access care.
The center places strong emphasis on family participation. Parents are encouraged to take part in sessions, attend training opportunities, and work alongside the team in educational planning. Beyond Behavior also highlights evidence-based practices and continuous staff training to support consistent, high-quality services. In addition, their collaboration with Cultivating Hope Farms provides farm-based programming designed to strengthen therapy through practical, community-focused experiences.
