Specialty Care Center

Mental Health Services

At this time, mental health services are available to participants at Lambs Farm with Medicare and/or Medicaid. We anticipate expanding to private insurance options later in 2026. We also plan to extend care to Lambs Farm family members and other natural supports as our clinical team continues to grow.

Our mental health services include adaptive talk therapy that uses art, music, and movement to support emotional well-being. Therapy may help address concerns such as anxiety, feeling sad or unmotivated, grief, life transitions, and other challenges that impact daily life. Sessions are offered in various lengths and can be scheduled weekly or monthly, depending on individual needs.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Services

Lambs Farm’s Specialty Care Center also provides Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services for our residents supported through Medicaid waiver funding.

Our ABA services offer practical, personalized strategies designed to help participants:

• Build skills
• Increase independence
• Make meaningful progress in everyday life

Person-Centered Support

ABA services are tailored to each individual’s strengths, needs, and goals. Support areas may include:

• Communication
• Daily living routines
• Social skills
• Behavior management

Our team collaborates closely with individuals and their support networks to encourage positive, sustainable change.

Supporting Independence & Quality of Life

At Lambs Farm, we believe adults deserve services that promote dignity, independence, and confidence. ABA services are thoughtfully adjusted over time as goals and needs evolve, ensuring continued growth and meaningful participation in daily routines and the community.

We are proud to provide person-centered ABA services to Lambs Farm participants, with services coming soon to the broader Lake County, Illinois community.

Lambs Ambassadors Program

We’re excited to announce a new program where existing participants can apply to become volunteer mentors for new participants! The goal is for experienced participants to guide newcomers, helping them get comfortable and “show them the ropes.”

Mentors work closely with staff to help them develop leadership skills and pursue any additional goals they’re interested in.

New participants will have the opportunity to attend meetings with their mentors (and facilitating staff) to discuss adjusting to life on the Farm and to ask questions about various topics, such as signing up for Special Olympics.

If participants interested in applying, applications and the job description are available at the Speciality Care Center and Case Managers also have information about the program.
