Pros

*great for beginners looking to get into ABA therapy

We appreciate your time at ALP and all of the work you did for and with our families. Supporting our clients and seeing them progress is the best part of being a Behavior Technician! That’s why we dedicate a great deal of time and resources into our initial onboarding and new hire training. We want our employees to feel confident and prepared when going into their sessions. Our Supervisors and Trainers are also available for additional support along the way for those who might need extra help or a refresher on a particular topic. Thank you for your feedback about scheduling. We do have many opportunities currently for our Behavior Technicians to work more hours, so if someone wasn’t interested in working part-time, they have other options! At the end of the day our goal is to provide our employees with a variety of scheduling options so they can work a schedule that fits their needs while providing support to our families. We wish you the best in your next role!

Pros

Flexible with remote work, fellow coworkers

Cons

Low pay!!! I did not like the clinical director for my region. Not welcoming when I joined the company. The bonus is a joke because it’s required. Company cares about numbers, not clients.

We want to start by expressing our heartfelt gratitude for choosing ABA as your profession. We recognize the incredible impact that each new BCBA has on the lives of children and families, and we appreciate your dedication to this mission. We’re sorry to hear that you and your Clinical Director were not able to collaborate successfully during your time at ALP, but we appreciate your feedback and will look to use this as an opportunity to improve. About our bonus plan, we’re very serious about seeing real progress in our clients which is why our bonus plan for clinicians is tied to things like clinical prescription fulfillment and mentorship for your BTs. Thank you again for dedicating your professional life to ABA. We value your contributions to our mission, and we appreciate the time you spent at ALP.

Pros

Rewarding and fun experiences with children, allowed for a primary experience in the field of psychology, learned about behaviorism in real time. Decent pay, and increased pay after 6 PM Weekends off

Cons

Main downside: clients get sick and you don't get paid. Since beginning a month ago I have had two clients miss an entire week, and as of today another client has gotten sick and will most likely be out for the rest of the week. There is no way to be compensated for this My availability had to be changed to accommodate for available clients, and my schedule is now from 10:30-8:30 After initial first session, there is not much guidance or feedback, so sessions can feel very unstructured and aimless. The efficacy of ABA can be debated. The history of ABA is concerning and some of the "compliance" goals seem unnecessary and can feel wrong to implement (withholding preferred item until desired phrase is said, which is incomprehensible to client. Teaches rote memorization for no purpose other than compliance?) Spending a lot of time driving to and from with not great compensation. Sometimes can feel more like a babysitter than a behaviorist.

Thank you for your support of our San Jose families! We truly appreciate the important role you play and your dedication to our mission. And we’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your interactions with the children, as that is our favorite part, too. At ALP, we understand the impact cancellations can have on our families, and we’re actively working on piloting new programs to find a solution to this challenge. In the meantime, we encourage all our employees, including you to communicate proactively with their direct supervisor and client services to schedule makeup sessions if needed. We’re sorry to hear you didn’t feel supported after your initial session. We work hard to develop our staff so they feel fully prepared before going into client homes. If you ever find yourself in a unique situation, we encourage you to reach out to your Regional Trainer and/or Field Trainer for additional guidance. As for gas mileage, we do our best to monitor and adjust our reimbursement rate as gas prices fluctuate. In fact, we increased our mileage reimbursement several months ago to reflect sudden spikes in gas prices at that time. Thank you again for all the support you provide to our San Jose families.
