Pros

I had the opportunity to work with great clients and families. Company provides a work phone.

Cons

This company is solely focused on providing intensive therapy without taking into account clients’ individual needs. Do not work here if you are interested in providing trauma-informed, naturalistic therapy; this company is as traditional ABA as they come. I did not feel good about the type of therapy this company wanted me to provide clients. BCBAs have extensive tasks they need to complete each month which make it impossible to meet the expectation of 25 billable hours per week.

Thanks for your input. Our clinicians make their recommendations based on the individual needs of each client, not on a pre-determined prescription. We always encourage our clinicians to review the literature surrounding treatment intensity since, as behavior analysts committed to the science, we want to ensure that our recommendations for service will truly make a significant and meaningful impact on our client’s outcomes. Our clinicians have goal- and progress-oriented discussions with parents and caregivers so as to educate them on the true value and impact a quality ABA program can have and speak to the intensity of treatment in relation to what their child will need. This is so that parents can make an informed decision as to the services their child will receive. Our ABA treatment varies from client to client, specifically to address their individual needs – some clients may need more structured Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT) while others may benefit from a more naturalistic approach (NaTS, NET), and some clients may benefit from a combination of both! We customize our programming to each client and include parent input on what is most critical or important to them. Moreover, our organization provides substantial resources to support our BCBAs ability to provide the recommended supervision hours for their clients. Specifically, Behavior Frontiers has a centralized scheduling department (so that BCBAs do not have to create client schedules), recruiters who screen, interview, and hire Behavior Technician staff (one less administrative task not on a BCBA’s plate), a training department to train BTs and Supervisors, as well as electronic data collection, to name but a few. Our goal continues to be to reduce administrative tasks for our BCBAs so that they can focus on what they love to do, which is to provide clinical care to our clients! We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Pros

Option to supervise via Telehealth

Cons

Behavior Frontiers USED to be an amazing company to work at- I used to look forward to seeing my co-workers, clients, and bosses. I worked there for more than 5 years and had gone through multiple positions, and truly valued my clients and coworkers. The work we did was priceless. The experience USED to be about the interest and development of the client and the professional development of its employees. We had trainings that were conducted in person and offered CEUs. In these days, this company was a 4 to 4.5 star company. However, since the pandemic, the company began using outdated techniques of fear-based management. New people came on, none of them have ABA experience, and none of them had to interview for their positions- it was basically back door hiring. And, they gave themselves cute little titles like "president." At any rate, the new people came in to fire BCBAs, Case Managers, a number of people in every department. Additionally, they let go of multiple regions. Were any of these people given a notice or severance? No! Because people are not valued at Behavior Frontiers anymore. All they are looking for are profits. Additionally, many of the people who were fired were women and POC. If you're looking for a position as a Case Manager or Behavior Supervisor, just know that there is no job security because they look to lay people off (effective immediately), no work-life balance, and CONSTANT changes, and no support with professional development. I would not recommend this company.
