I worked at ALP and unfortunately my experience was disappointing. One of the biggest issues I observed was the lack of growth opportunities. It often felt like strong Behavioral Technicians (BTs) were held back from promotion because it is difficult for the company to replace reliable staff in those roles. Instead of developing employees, there seemed to be an emphasis on keeping good BTs where they were most convenient.
There was also a noticeable lack of support for both staff and clients. Support during challenging situations was inconsistent. BTs were frequently left to manage severe behaviors on their own, and additional help was typically offered only after situations escalated to a breaking point or when staff were already burned out. This reactive approach created unnecessary stress and did not feel client-centered.
Training and ongoing professional development were limited. For a field that requires strong clinical guidance and teamwork, the level of supervision and structured support did not meet expectations. Overall, the environment felt more focused on coverage and staffing logistics than on employee well-being or high-quality client care.
