Working with the students was great!

Pros

The clinical and teaching teams go above and beyond their responsibilities to offer as much behavioral, academic, and social support given the many constraints of this environment.

Cons

Administration will spend more time responding to Glassdoor reviews, denouncing truths experienced by staff members than responding to crises within the school, leaving staff members to navigate dangerous situations (eg employees requesting support in the crisis group chat will be left on ‘read’ for hours begging the question as to why there is a crisis group chat at all?) Environment for students is unfit and dangerous. Consistent underemployment and *high* turnover rate. Review “it is like day and night” obviously written by an administration member in an attempt to undercut actual employee experience (see above title about optics). Staff consistently asked to work outside of their scope of employment (this is true for BCBAs, BTs, and teachers), putting the ethical practice of this “school” into question.

Thank you for your response. We have a dedicated crisis chat for both campuses that are responded to immediately upon crisis, with a leveling system so each staff member knows how and when to respond. If a staff member believes the environment to be unfit or unsafe for both staff and learners, you are encouraged to let a member of the administration team know immediately so we can rectify the safety concern. Lastly, I think it is important to note that our 2020-2021 turnover rate was actually 16.98% which falls well below the national average turnover rate for non-profits as well as for-profit clinics. We strive to act in good faith and make changes and improvements so that staff will love what they do and where they work!

Pros

There’s many other BCBAs at this place with a loveable staff for the most part. You can learn a lot here if you are a beginner to social jobs or ABA. Stay here if you wish to learn before transitioning to a more experienced place

Cons

The administration team is novice (not the clinical side) as they do not communicate well or leave the team in tough situations that make the treatment very difficult to implement as it needs to be revised or improvised on the spot. This is not always doable. There’s also times where concerns are raised for safety such as this summer, the environment where the treatment is being implemented is in a building with construction occurring where a locker almost feel on a learner.

Thank you for your review. As we continue to grow as an organization, we had an immediate need for more space. This meant a new building with brand new updates to make it functional for our staff and learners. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances with the supplied contractor from our landlord, construction was not done on time. Rest assured, safety hazards have been rectified. If ever a staff member sees a safety concern or immediate hazard, please let an administrative team member know immediately. -APL Administration
