Pros

The clients and co-workers are great. Teachers and BT's collaborate on a daily basis however that is discouraged and frowned upon. Not many perks other than the clients make the job enjoyable.

Cons

The administration engages in favoritism when choosing who to promote, they will promote anyone but a person of color. They stopped offering a salary so that they do not have to pay their BTS through the summer like every other school, nor do they even have an option for checks to be dispersed through the year. This company has an extremely high turn over rate which results in other BTS having to pick up the slack when someone quits.

Thank you for your review. APL encourages collaboration between every position so we are doing what is best for our learners. There are reasons behind every decision administration has to make. In the case of moving Behavior Technicians from salaried to hourly, this is a federal guideline we have to follow that falls under the FLSA. I would also like to state that our turnover rate for 2020-2021 was 16.98% which is far below the national average, for not only non-profits, but also for profit clinics! If you have any clinics or trainings that you would think the organization or administration would benefit from more, please let us know as we would love to implement those as well.

Pros

Students are amazing, unique people! The new administration have made many much needed changes including quality HR representative, higher pay and better communication. Executive director is much more involved.

Cons

BTs are forced to differentiate most of the material for students. Teachers often insert their political opinions in classes instead of allowing students to form their own opinions. Students with more severe deficits were often ignored by teachers especially during pandemic online learning forcing BTs to become teachers (without a teacher's higher salary). Not many career advancement opportunities. Location is terrible- homeless people camping out on sport courts, close to busy streets, a building without proper sensory areas or staff rooms.

Hello and thank you for your review! APL is always looking to improve. We have opened up a second location for more room for students and staff with updated security measures. We aim to keep a 1:1 ration of student to staff to ensure all positions are able to complete their designated responsibilities. We will be looking to add more learning specialists year over year!
