Working with kiddos was great and the teachers were holding the school together.

Administrative organization and clear lines of communication were nearly non existent.

Thank you for your review. We have been working hard in administration to clear up communication, especially during a pandemic and online learning. If you have any ideas on how to help communication, our door is always open!

Pros

Students are lovely and make the job more bearable.

Cons

The HR department acts solely in the interest of the administration rather than being a conduit between administration and employees. Additionally, HR frequently makes errors in employee pay, leading to missed bill payments, etc. Administration uses fear and bullying tactics against employees rather than attempting to talk to employees to resolve internal issues. Students are frequently underserved due to a lack of organization and a lack of employee retention. Male staff who have sexually harassed co-workers continue to work at the school, and male staff are chronically paid more than female staff (a baffling occurrence from an organization run by women). Yearly performance reviews have no bearing on raises. More than half of the academic curriculum is taught using online resources rather than being taught by instructors leaving students who are not adept at using technology stranded for half the time in their classes.

Hello and thank you for your review. APL has undergone an almost complete overhaul in the structure of the academic program and clinic services since spring of 2020. Wages have significantly increased for staff across the programs, and we have developed a pay scale standard across all positions. Metrics for evaluations have also been revised and are being used with fidelity to ensure the highest quality staff training. APL does not tolerate harassment of any kind. We also have a new Executive Director as of June 2020 who hired an experienced HR director. During our most recent staff sentiment survey over 85% of staff were highly satisfied with the HR director.

Pros

Love most of the staff Love the kids Amazing experience if you wish to make it into a career due to the resources like a lot of CBTs and BCBAs

Cons

HORRIBLE PAY and not even close to the average CBT salary Admin make poor decisions for rules that affect preparation time, training, etc Expectations from admin are close to impossible Environment is super cold or hot as the school building is sketchy and not close to a more secure school Lower staff’s word is not well respected which ultimately ends in a higher rate of quitting Communication is extremely poor

Hello and thank you for your feedback. We have implemented a staff sentiment survey in the 2020-2021 school year that occurs monthly where staff are asked a series of questions to determine the satisfaction levels of different areas or topics. We report all findings monthly to be as transparent as possible. Change takes significant time and good change management, however, APL's administration has been dedicated to making positive changes that impact our school and clinic.
