Pros

Children and families are great! The students are usually under 3 and are learning to speak, it is so exciting to see the progress. I work with great behavior therapists who answer my questions. My regional director is always available by phone and email and gets back to me pretty fast. She works hard to make my schedule with no gaps but sometimes cancellations happen. My BT's help me find other cases to go to when they can too.

Cons

It is hard working in families homes by yourself until you get used to it. I work long days but usually have Friday off for make ups each week.

Pros

Families and children (only reason why I stayed so long). You build relationships with children and families that will last a life time. It's so amazing to see the progress.

Cons

Where do I begin? Beacon ABA Services does not care about their ABT/BT position staff. All who matters at this company are those with a BCBA. Supervisors are not professional and they are honestly very rude. There are NO benefits for ABT/BT staff and we're the people doing most of the work, even work the BCBA should be doing. There is no PTO and getting 30 hours a week is impossible with the amount of cancellations and we don't get paid for cancellations. You will be gone all day ( I was gone 7AM-6PM) and I would only get paid for about 6 of those hours. There is SO much work outside of work that I would have to miss out on dinner with my family or spend weekends making materials and completing reports and during this time you're not getting paid. You are going to put a lot of miles on your car, you get reimbursed for some of the miles but not all of them. The communication is very poor between supervisors and staff. If you are someone who has a lot of bills or responsibilities with children/family then I would not apply to this company. You will be making poverty level money. I would apply to this company if your husband can hold the family and you're looking for a rewarding side job. You will still have to deal with the unprofessional-ism and will have to spend a lot of time outside of work to complete other tasks.

Pros

Flexible schedule, advancement opportunities, working with children, tuition reimbursement to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, mileage reimbursement

Cons

This is not a consistent job. Clients are constantly cancelling sessions. Because the position is "fee for service", this means that you were not paid for cancelled sessions.There is poor communication among supervisors and other Early Intervention Speciualists. There was a number of times when a parent would cancel and notify a supervisor but the parent and supervisor would fail to notify me as well. This resulted in me travling miles to clients home only to find out they cancelled/were not home. Total waste of time. Some supervisors want you to do EVERYTHING their way. Leaves no room to develop repor with children or develop your own teaching skills. Alot of take home work that you were not paid for. You have to do and submit your own timesheets. If you made even the slightest error, your pay will be witheld until the following pay period Some clients homes are filthy and smell bad If you dont have access to a computer, this position is not for you.
